Origami Petal Fold

Origami Petal Fold Step 1: To even get started on the petal fold, you'd generally have to make a series of folds already to get to something that looks like this. If you'd like to just practice, you can fold a square base first.

Origami Petal Fold Step 2: You really only need 3 creases to make a petal fold.

First, fold the right and left sides to the center crease.

Crease well then unfold.

Origami Petal Fold Step 3: To make that 3rd crease, pry open the paper.

The 3rd crease needs to join up with the other 2 creases. If you've creased well in Step 2, then you should be able to see the other 2 creases easily. If not, just go back to Step 2 and crease better.

Origami Petal Fold Step 4: So crease the top flap of the paper down so that the crease joins up with the other two.

Origami Petal Fold Step 5: Now, we're going to bring the 2 sides of the paper back to meet in the center. It will help if you re-crease or pinch the creases.

And that is the origami petal fold.
