Two-Color Frangipani

The completed model, shown from another angle to help check its shape and proportions.

1. 1

   Fold the white square in half upward. Fold the right end diagonally up and down, opening each fold to mark an intersection.

2. 2

   Bring the opposite corner to the intersection. Fold the flap back to align the edges, then fold the right side toward the left.

3. 3

   Fold the wedge backward along the guide and cut away the excess. Unfold into a pentagon. Prepare a smaller yellow pentagon in the same way.

4. 4

   Center the yellow pentagon on the white one and glue them together. Turn the paper over, raise the radial creases, and gather the five sections into a layered triangular shape.

5. 5

   Turn the triangle over. Fold one side toward the center, then lower the flap slightly along the crease shown.

6. 6

   Lift the indicated flap, open its pocket, and squash it flat. Lift the small triangle, fold it down along its crease, and bring the sides inward. Turn the layer to the left.

7. 7

   Repeat the pocket-fold sequence on each section. Turn the layers to show the indicated face, fold the upper point down, and repeat around the model.

8. 8

   Turn the model to its top and gently spread all five petals. Round their edges to expose the yellow inner layer.

9. 9

   The size of the yellow pentagon controls how much yellow is visible: a larger inner sheet gives a larger colored area.
