Five-Petal Pinwheel Flower

Choose one square of thin paper so the center folds remain manageable.

Fold the square in half with the open edge at the top. Make the reference creases and diagonal folds shown.

Fold the layers together and cut along the marked line. Keep and open the lower piece into a pentagon.

Fold each corner inward as shown, unfolding each time. Turn the pentagon over after completing the crease pattern.

Fold around the five sectors. Reinforce the larger pentagon, then the smaller pentagon at the center.

Fold the two small triangular sections inward. Repeat on all five sides and turn over.

Tuck both little corners into their pockets. Repeat around the model, then turn it over again.

Fold one petal section along the pictured crease. Repeat on the other four sections.

Spread the five petals evenly and gently press the center into its pinwheel shape.
