Read each picture from left to right, then top to bottom.

Use this finished example to compare the shape and proportions of your model.

Crease a diagonal and open the square as a diamond. Fold the top and bottom points to the middle. Fold the upper edge to the middle again.

Fold the upper band upward along the guide. Fold the lower section upward, then fold it upward once more.
Bring the left and right ends toward the center.

Unfold the two ends, fold them to the new diagonal creases and open them again. Spread the indicated end pocket.

Open and squash both end pockets. Unfold the indicated layers, apply glue to the marked areas and bring the two sides together.
Pinch the small white section into a triangle.

Fold the little triangle inward. Open and adjust the petal so its colored center and white tip stand apart. Make a second matching unit.

Join neighboring units at their sides. Continue until eight petals form a closed flower, then gently spread them evenly.
