How to Make an Origami Pomander
Hi! I am Michael Webb on behalf of Expert village.com. Right now we are going to make what is called a pomander. This is somewhat of a geometrical flower shape and to do this we are going to start with the windmill base that we just made. Now what you are going to do is on each of these corners you are going to take it and you are just going to do a squash fold until each of these comes down into a square. And you are going to do this on all the corners until you basically get one small square that is divided into fourths; that you got there. Now on each one of these you are going to make very small kite folds on each one of these corners and until you get sort of a triangular shapes on each end. Now this can take some time so just have patience. Now that you have got that what you want to do is open each one of these up and get each one its own squash fold; and make sure to line up the creases and do this all around. Now you are nearly done; and what you want to do is flip it over and take each corner and fold it towards you, then flip it over again. And what you can do is take another small piece of paper and cut it in a circle; and take some tape or glue or some sort of adhesive and just put it right in the center and there you have a pomander.
