                                                    Step 1:
                                                    This is the front of the paper.
                                                    Turn the paper.

                                                    Step 2:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the 2 black lines.




                                                    Step 3:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.


                                                    Step 4:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the line on the left and
                                                    a mountain-fold over the line on the right.


                                                  Step 5:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the black line and push the piece
                                                    at the arrow down.

                                                    Step 6:
                                                    A part of the folds in step 5 are already done here.
                                                    In the picture of step 7 you can see how the folds turn out.

                                                    Step 7:
                                                    Repeat step 5 for the other side of the stem.


                                                    Step 8:
                                                    Make a valley-fold on the 2 corners.



                                                    Step 9:
                                                    Curl the end of the leaf around your finger or a pencil.



                                                    The leaf is ready!
