Yes, I'm serious.
Does anyone know where I might find an origami diagram for folding an Onion?

Happy folding (and creasing, and so on...) to all,
Charles

I'm going to assume that you mean a 3d onion and that a flat one would be unsatisfactory.
If so, it seems rather unfortunate that 3d onions are rather uncommon amongst the origami community. I would suggest you use the software ori revo.
If you don't want to download it, I have provided a crease pattern that I quickly generated:

Thank you so much for calling my attention to both the software application and the crease pattern. It was very thoughtful!
And, yes, I agree it is unfortunate that such an unfairly maligned vegetable seems to have few models to entertain and challenge. I think rendering an onion and capturing some of the layers of its skin would make for both a daunting task and--if rendered well--an impressive result! The paper choice alone gives me pause.

Of well, nothing to cry over I suppose...

Happy folding (creasing, etc.)
