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.
