  Step 1

  find some newspaper

• 

  Step 2

  Cut it into a square. It doesn't have to be super precise or anything, but it does help. If your just starting I would try this with a bigger square first.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold your paper twice, both hamburger and hot dog style. (I colored the lines in with a green marker.)

• 

  Step 4

  Basically, you just fold the corners into the middle. After you're done folding, just turn it over.

• 

  Step 5

  Now you should be looking at the back......

• 

  Step 6

  ....Now fold the back corners in.
  (you can do the flip over and fold thing as many times as you want to, it gives you more petals.)

• 

  Step 7

  Now you're going to fold the corners again. But you only make a super tiny fold. Sorry you can't see it very well :/

• 

  Step 8

  This is a picture of the back, your going to take these flaps and fold them up to the other side.

• 

  Step 9

  When you fold the flaps over from the back it helps if you put a finger over the tiny fold you made earlier.

• 

  Step 10

  It should hopefully come out looking like this, but it's a bit hard at first. Just do this with the rest of the flaps from the back.

• 

  Step 11

  And there you have it folks!
