This
page is for those who want the instructions to fold a hollow origamirose flower stem or simply hollow stem. This is a stem that you need when you make a rose flower with calyx, leaf, and stem attached together. It is very easy to make this hollow stem since all you need is paper and glue. Only thing that you should be aware about this stem is treating this stem with great care since inside of the stem itself is hollow.
You may use any kind of paper to fold this stem but I recommend you to use a higher density paper. In this instruction I am using a paper with higher density of 120 g/m^2.
Make sure the paper
that you use is a square(all sides are equal and all the angles
equal 90 degrees). The paper I am using here is 10cm x 10cm square one.
The paper size of the base should be 1/4 of the rose paper.
We need three of them.
<what the front side of the paper we will be using in these instructions
looks like>
You can use a paper with the front side having a different (or the same) texture depending upon your need.
Here I choose the same texture as the back side.

Prepare for a valley-fold.
A Dream
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?
