How to Make an Origami Iris
The iris takes its name from the Greek word for rainbow, reflecting the wide range of colours of the iris. The iris is a popular symbol, appearing on the flag of Brussels and in the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of Florence, Italy. This paper iris will bring to life the beauty of the iris; the model looks the best when folded from a blended or a two-toned paper.
