4. Fold the two longer sides to meet at the center crease.
5. Now, fold at the center crease outwards.
6. Make 7 more pieces of paper of the same size and color into this shape by following the same steps, and 4 of these of the same size but of a green color. Set the green colored ones aside.
7. Place one into the other so that you have 4 such shapes.
8. Hold the four together and tie a rubber band in the center to hold it in place.
9. Gently pull the four away from each other on either side so it looks like a flower.
10. Pull the layers of alternative petals apart and push the top layer outwards as shown.
11. Now, do the same with the other 4 petals.
12. Open up the folding of the bottom layers of the 8 petals as shown.
13. Hold the four green folded papers together and tie them together with a rubber band.
14. Gently pull the four away from each other on either side so it looks like a flower.
