If you can, use either a patterned or double-sided paper for this origami. Those types of paper are generally thicker and sturdier than one-sided origami paper.
I started off with a 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) square origami paper but if you would like a larger vase, you'd need a larger sheet of paper.
Easy Origami Vase Step 1: Start by making a waterbomb base. You should have this to start with.
Easy Origami Vase Step 2: Fold over the right side to the left and the left side to the right. The fold can start at approximately 1 inch from the bottom tip. Crease well and unfold.
Easy Origami Vase Step 3: Now make a squash fold on the right side - Open the paper slightly and flatten.
Easy Origami Vase Step 4: Repeat Step 3 on the left side.
Easy Origami Vase Step 5: FLIP paper over and repeat Step 2. Make sure the edges line up.
Easy Origami Vase Step 6: Now repeat the squash folds on this side.
Easy Origami Vase Step 7: Now we need to work on the pointed tips. Fold each side of the pointed tip to meet the center crease.
Easy Origami Vase Step 8: Repeat Step 7 for the other 3 tips.
Easy Origami Vase Step 9: Open the paper and fold the tips into the vase.
Easy Origami Vase Step 10: Repeat for the other 3 tips. Once done, push down on the bottom of the vase to flatten it.
Easy Origami Vase Step 11: And that's it! Your easy origami vase is complete.
The vase above was made with a 6 inch square paper. It was a bit too small to hold more than 1 flower. So I made another vase with an 8 1/4" origami paper and used it to hold the origami day lilies.
Here's the larger origami vase:
and here's it with the flowers:
