                                                    Step 1:
                                                    Make mountain- and valley folds over the 4 lines.
                                                    Unfold each fold right after you made one.

                                                    Step 2:
                                                   If you make these folds you get a basic shape. See figure 3.

                                                    Step 3:
                                                    Pull one piece up.

                                                    Step 4:
                                                    Flatten the piece, so it looks like in the picture of step 5.

                                                  Step 5:
                                                    Repeat step 3 and 4 for the other 3 pieces.

                                                    Step 6:
                                                    Make valley-folds over the 2 lines.
                                                    Unfold them a bit after you made them.

                                                    Step 7:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the black line by pulling up the
                                                    piece in the middle.

                                                    Step 8:
                                                    Now the model looks like this.
                                                    Push the piece further down to get the shape like you see
                                                    in step 9

                                                    Step 9:
                                                    Repeat step 6 to 8 for the other three pieces of the model.

                                                    Step 10:
                                                    Fold the 4 loose triangles up.

                                                    Step 11:
                                                    Open the model by pulling at two petals.

                                                    Step 12:
                                                    Fold the little triangle against the inside of the model.
                                                    Repeat step 11 to 12 for the other three triangles.

                                                   Step 13:
                                                   Make a book-fold at the top.

                                                   Step 14:
                                                   Make 2 valley-folds over the black lines.

                                                   Step 15:
                                                   Repeat step 14 for the other 3 flat surfaces of the model.

                                                   Step 16:
                                                   Press one petal down until it looks like the petal on the
                                                    right in step 17

                                                    Step 17:
                                                    Press the other 3 petals down.

                                                    Step 18:
                                                    Open the right and left upper layers of each petal a bit.



                                                    The flower is ready!
