A tulip is a good beginners project when it comes to origami. you can make one in a couple of minutes and it looks pretty nice. It also comes in two parts so you can make the actual flower and then make the stem that it sits on. It is nice to make the flower but I recommend you take it a step further and make some kind of arrangement for it or make multiple flowers in varying colors then put them together into some kind of a scene. I have pictures that will give you some ideas.
