Curled Six-Petal Blossom

Use thin paper so the layered base can open easily.

Fold the square upward with the opening at the top. Mark the quarter divisions and make the diagonal folds shown.

Turn over, fold the layers together and remove the upper portion along the cutting line.

Open the retained lower piece into a six-sided sheet.

Bring the radial creases together into the narrow triangular base.

Fold both side edges inward to the middle crease.

Open that fold and press it flat along its creases.

Fold the upper flap downward.

Repeat the pocket and flap folds on the remaining sides.

Fold both edges of a face inward toward the center.

Repeat these folds around all six faces.

Open the lower end and ease each folded petal outward.

Curl the six petal tips gently around a slim tool and arrange them evenly.
