Pinch firmly along the creased edges, taking care not to crease the back part of the petal. Burnish flat.Īdd glue to one of the innermost triangles and adhere to the other.

Take one of the bottom outside points and fold it back on itself, lining up the centre crease lines until the outer edge is once again a straight line. Open up the outer point and squish it flat, using the existing crease lines as a guide. Take one of the top points and fold it back on itself making the bottom edges level. Take the outer points of the triangle and fold them both up to the top point and burnish with bone folder. Use a bone folder to give a really crisp crease. To start, take one of your squares and fold in half across the diagonal. This will result in a fairly large flower, approx 3.5 inches in diameter. I am demonstrating here with vellum using five x 5 inch squares. To start cut 5 or 6 squares of your chosen paper stock. Paper, glue, beads, florists wire, bone folder. Once you get used to the folding sequence, these flowers can be made up in a few minutes.
