Fold the square in half both ways and along both diagonals, then unfold it.

Bring the straight creases inward and flatten the paper into a layered square with its open points facing down.

Fold the two lower edges of the front layer toward the center line.

Repeat the edge folds on the other faces of the layered base.

Open the two edges you just folded, leaving their guide creases visible.

Lift the front layer and open its pocket along the creases.

Flatten the pocket along the guide creases. Pull out the small triangular section, then close the sides together. Repeat around the base.

Arrange the layers into the narrow diamond shown, keeping the tips aligned.

Fold the outer edges inward toward the center on each face.

Fold the petal points down and gently spread all four petals into a small flower.

Follow the diagonal marks: fold the left section up, unfold it, and fold the corresponding section down on the other face.

Fold the narrow piece in half, reopen it, and lift the long edge along the indicated crease.

Open the pocket at the indicated point. Turn the leaf over and press the raised section down to flatten it.

Fold the indicated section down, then fold the end inward along the diagonal. Turn over to reveal the finished leaf.
