1. 1

   Crease both diagonals and both midlines. Bring the sides inward and flatten into a layered square.

2. 2

   With the open point facing upward, fold the model in half and unfold. Fold the point to the middle crease and open the whole square.

3. 3

   Raise the dotted square and diagonal lines as mountain folds, preparing to sink the center.

4. 4

   Push the center inward along the prepared creases and flatten the layers.

5. 5

   Fold the right edge toward the middle and repeat on the other three faces.

6. 6

   Open the model to reveal the reverse. Flatten it, then fold the indicated point toward the center.

7. 7

   Tuck that point into the small central square.

8. 8

   Repeat the tuck at all four sides. Open one outer section, fold it upward toward the central square, then open it to the left.

9. 9

   Flatten the opened section to the right and repeat around the clover. Fold the small outer corners inward and turn the clover face up.

10. 10

    Repeat the folds to make eight clovers, alternating light and dark green if desired.

11. 11

    Overlap neighboring clovers in a ring, keeping the center open. Secure the overlaps with small amounts of glue.
