Procedure

Step 1: Making Creases On A Pink Origami Paper

Let’s begin this craft by taking green origami paper, folding and creasing the paper in diagonal halves then turning the paper to the other side and again folding and creasing the paper into halves.

Step 2: Forming A Diamond Shape

From the horizontal diagonal crease push the ends of the crease inwards to form a diamond shape and overlap the paper to the diamond.

Step 3: Making Triangle Creases

From the left and right folded sides of the diamond open fold the paper to the middle crease to form a triangle over it. Flip to the other side and make a triangle over there too. Now, unfold all 4 triangle creases to again form a diamond shape.

Step 4: Forming A Kite Shape

Open up the right side of the diamond fold and push in the paper along the triangle crease then fold the formed triangle from the side along the middle (diamond) crease. Do the same from the left side too to see a kite shape formed.

Flip the figure over and repeat this step again to form a kite shape over that side too and overlap the previous one. You will see zig-zag papers on each opening of the figure.

Step 5: Folding The Sides Of The Kite Shape

Fold the sides of the kite shape to the middle crease.

Step 6: Making Smaller Kite Shape

Unfold the recent folds and open up the sides and push in the paper from the crease of the recent folds to get a further small kite shape as shown in the image.

Now, repeat the previous 2 steps on all alternative zig-zag paper openings to make a smaller kite shape as a whole.

Step 8: Cutting The Kite Shape Into Triangle

Flip the openings to a kite shape with the paper partition at the bottom. Now, using scissors, cut the end-broad part of the figure to get a triangle with no folds visible on it.

Step 9: Cutting The Triangle Top

Using scissors, cut the triangle top. Make sure to only cut out a tiny little part.

Step 10: Folding The Corners To The Middle

Fold the corners of the triangle to the middle on the alternative openings of the figure and make creases.

Step 11: Making The Gown

Now, unfold the corner folds and open them up from the middle and push in the corners along the corner creases to form an arrow shape. Do the same on each corner fold to form arrow shapes.

Stretch open the whole figure from below to see a ball gown.

Step 12: Making Creases On Another Pink Paper

Take a small pink origami paper sheet and fold it into halves and from the corners halves as well to form diagonal and half creases over the paper and unfold again.

Step 13: Forming A Triangle

Fold the paper along the half crease and take the folded corners of it to the middle to form a triangle as shown in the image.

Step 14: Forming A Kite Shape

Further, fold the corners of the triangle to the middle to form a kite shape.

Step 15: Making The Top Of The Ball Gown

Fold open the corners of the kite shape outwards and make creases. Then, open these folds from the corners and press them up to form the top of your ball gown.

Step 16: Placing The Top In The Ball Gown Skirt

From the hole above the gown skirt put in your top as shown in the image and secure it with glue.

Step 17: Making A Waist Ribbon

Collect to fold your ball gown into the strip again and cut out a thin pink paper strip and paste it over the joint of the top and gown skirt using glue to make the waist ribbon of the gown.

Step 18: Opening Up the Gown Skirt

Again open up the gown skirt from below to see it with a waist ribbon at the joint of it.
