Four Petaled Flower (1-sheet)

Tomoko Fuse created a Four Petaled Flower folded from 1-sheet of paper. The flower uses a blintz bird base, several reverse folds and a twist. Accurate creasing creates nice flower shape with a lot of volume and dimension. After "blooming" all four petals, you can leave the flower pointy or create soft curls using edge bone folder. In class, we will fold the flower from 15 cm (5-7/8 in) Pure Color Reds (high-quality paper with slightly textured surface, similar to Tant). Flower folds well from Astrobrights 24 lbs copy paper (89 g/m²), TANT paper and matte American Foil. Tuttle Color Bursts 4" (10 cm) is okay but a little too soft.
