Learn how to fold the beautiful origami Hydrangea designed by Shuzo Fujimoto in this 19-minute tutorial video. Master this fractal model that allows you to add theoretically infinite layers, with each level becoming progressively smaller. No special paper is required - easily fold up to 6 layers using standard 15cm x 15cm origami paper, or create even more layers with larger sheets. The tutorial breaks down the process into clear steps: starting with the first two layers, adding new layers, finishing the petals, and showcasing the completed Hydrangea. This low-intermediate level project is demonstrated using 20cm x 20cm Hanji paper and 15cm x 15cm Copper Tissue foil, with links provided to purchase these materials. Diagrams are also available through a provided link for additional reference.
