Step 1
Cut two 2-inch pieces of washi tape, then press them together, adhesive sides in.
Step 2
Fold the piece in half so that the short ends meet. Then fold again lengthwise.
Step 3
Cut an arc along the open end to give the petal a rounded edge.
Step 4
Unfold to reveal a lozenge shape. Then fold each long edge into the center.
Step 5
Fold in half, to make an accordion fold.
Step 6
Fold the petal in half, pinching the fold to crease. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to make two additional petals.
Step 7
Arrange all of the petals together, folded points in. Then use a hot glue gun to adhere them to each other.
Step 8
Add an embellishment to the center of the flower with hot glue to help secure the petals.
