Now hold opposite petals of the daisy and pull very gently, expanding the middle portion of the flower just a little. Then move on to the neighboring set of petals and pull a little bit more.

Work your way around the flower until the middle piece is fully expanded and puffy.

Daisies come in many varieties and colors, so use your imagination to come up with different flowers. Below is a double-sided origami sheet (red on one side, pink on the other).

A black marker was used on the central portion of the sheet, and the result is very much like a red Gerbera Daisy.

If the sheet is white on both sides, you can color the center of one side with a yellow highlighter, which will fold up into the Common Daisy:
