• Fold one side in the middle horizontally, unfold and fold the same side in the middle vertically. Turn over and fold diagonally on each corner
• Unfold and turn over so the first side faces you. Tuck the top left and bottom corners in on themselves so the inside creases meet each other
• You should now have four flaps. Take one of the side flaps, and fold it inwards, so it lines up with the centre fold
• Place your finger inside the fold, and squash it down so you have a kite shape with the underside of your paper showing. Repeat steps 3-4 on all flaps
• Fold the two sides into the centre then unfold. Slip your finger into the top edge of the pocket
• Using creases as a guide, pull the lip of it all the way down, ensuring everything is aligned on the centre. Fold the triangle flap up. Repeat 5-6 on all sides
• Turn over to reveal the side with no folds or flaps on it. Fold the side edges into the centre crease and repeat all around
• With one side facing you, pull one of the petals downwards. Repeat
• Grab a pencil or ruler and curl the edge of the petals. Thread though a length of florist wire to use as stem
