1. 1

   Crease the square horizontally and vertically. Bring all four corners to the center, then turn it over.

2. 2

   Bring all four corners to the center again. Turn the model over and repeat with the new corners.

3. 3

   Turn the model over. Open one corner pocket outward and squash it flat. Repeat at the other three corners.

4. 4

   Fold the two outer corners of each petal slightly inward. Repeat on all four sides, then turn the flower over.

5. 5

   Lower the indicated triangular layer.

6. 6

   Fold its small tip upward, then fold the layer upward again. Repeat around all four sides. Add the small contrasting center piece.

7. 7

   Place the rectangle horizontally. Fold its right end diagonally down to the left and then up to the left, opening each fold.

8. 8

   Fold the right end to the left to mark a vertical crease and unfold. Push the sides inward along the diagonal creases and flatten into a triangle.

9. 9

   Fold the lower half upward, lift the small triangular flap, and open the long section again. Bring its lower edge to the middle.

10. 10

    Fold that edge toward the middle again. Lower the small triangle. Repeat the narrowing folds on the opposite edge.

11. 11

    Lift one triangular layer. Turn the base over and rotate it so the narrow strip points upward.

    Fold the bottom point behind and attach the flower over the strip, leaving the green base visible below it.
