Double-Layer Clematis Star

Use the larger square for the outer flower and the smaller square for its center.

The two layers are rotated so the eight pointed petals alternate around the center.

Fold both diagonals and both midlines of the larger square.

Collapse the square into the layered diamond shown.

Lift and open the first triangular flap.

Flatten the pocket along its center crease.

Fold both lower edges inward to the middle.

Open those creases and lift the lower point into a long diamond.

Repeat the same folds on the other three faces.

Gently spread the folded layers to expose the inner lower sections.

Reverse-fold the lower middle section inward and upward.

Repeat on the remaining three sides.

Turn the flaps until a flat diamond face is exposed.

Fold both side edges inward along the center.

Fold the lower half upward.

Repeat the upward fold on the other three faces.

Turn the base upward and spread its four pointed petals.

Repeat with the smaller square. Stack the two flowers with their points staggered and add a little glue if needed.
