Square It Up
Start by folding one corner of the paper so that the short side lines up on top of the long side. Be sure to make the crease as tight as possible.
Cutting of the Access
Now take your scissors and cut of the thin line of paper that does not overlap the soon-to-be square.
Corner to Corner
Fold each corner to its opposite counter corner, then unfold.
Halves
Then unfold your paper and fold it in half 'hot dog' style both horizontally and vertically.
Balloon Base
Apply pressure to the corners so that your square becomes a star shaped 3-D figure.
Make a Kite Shape Fold
Fold one of the small triangles from tip to table creating a kite shaped section.
Repeat
Repeat the last step 3 more times to create a kite shape.
More Folds...
Fold the lower edges of the kite to the center line as shown, then unfold
Continuing
Fold the top point down to the bottom, then unfold
Place your finger inside the kite, just under the folds you just made and fold the top piece up.
Repeat the last step 3 more times to get a diamond.
Now fold the top point downwards. Repeat this 3 times.You should get a diamond shape.
Fold the upper edges into the center line of the diamond. Do this on all 4 sides.
Finish the Job
Turn the 'kite' upside down and fold the top points down to get your flower!
