  Step 2

  2) Then fold it in half diagonally, so it forms a triangle.

  Step 4

  Step 5

  5) Fold the bottom upwards, to form a crease .

• 

  Step 6

  6) Then push it in between the middle of the two folded creases.

  Step 7

  7) After that, fold it back. Do steps 3 - 7 to the other side of the triangle.

• 

  Step 8

  8) Fold the two creased sides in the middle as shown. This forms the flower petal.

  - Once you have done that, follow steps 1 - 7 again, to make 4-5 petals for the Kusadama flower.
