The origami lily flower is a traditional model that is easy to do. In fact, it’s one of the first models I learned. So I can safely recommend it for beginners.

A friend of mine folded this star in class. I instantly liked it and she showed me how to make it. Well, I watched her fold it. But that was enough, the model is quite simple.A beginner might find the sink difficult, but I tried to explain an easy way of folding it in the video instructions for the Christmas Star. Besides that the model is suitable for beginners, at least My friend is a beginner and had no problems.
