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

                                                    Step 2:
                                                    Make mountain- and valley-folds over the black lines.
                                                    Unfold each fold after you made one.


                                                    Step 3:
                                                    Make 2 valley-folds below, on the right.
                                                    Make 2 mountain-folds in the middle.
                                                    Make 2 valley-folds on top, on the left.
                                                    Now you get a basic-shape.

                                                    Step 4:
                                                    Make these folds on the upper 2 layers of the model.


                                                Step 5:
                                                    Unfold the folds of step 4.



                                                    Step 6:
                                                    Pull the end at the arrow up by making a valley-fold over
                                                    the black line.



                                                    Step 7:
                                                   Flatten the pieces on the left and right over the lines
                                                    you made in step 4.



                                                    Step 8:
                                                    Now the model looks like this.
                                                    Repeat step 4 to 7 on the back of the model.


                                                    Step 9:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over the 2 black lines.
                                                    Do the same on the back of the model.


                                                    Step 10:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
                                                    The pieces at the bottom of the 2 lines go under the
                                                    upper layer of the model.
                                                    Do the same on the back of the model.

                                                    Step 11:
                                                    Fold the 2 petals up over the short black lines.
                                                    The petals become flat now.

                                                    Step 12:
                                                    Fold these 2 petals down and flatten them.




                                                   Step 13:
                                                   Flatten the yellow center of the flower.
                                                    (This is a difficult fold)

                                                   Step 14:
                                                   Fold the end of each petal up a bit over the short black
                                                    lines.



                                                   The flower is ready :-)
