It has six petals, like lily true
 
 
 
 
I learn how to fold
the crimping side,
mark the middle
 
 
I find the square
I avoid the refolding, tricky
Achieved overlap
 
 
Do not create a new wrinkle.
 
 
I cut the equilateral triangle
There is no need to draw it you
 
 

I fold the top layer
Cut along this edge
This work is up to you
 
 

Strive hard with the aim of completion
Fold
 
 

Do not create a new wrinkle.
 
 

I can model the collapse simply
to existing wrinkles.
