Then, fold the flap in half back to the crease just created. And then continue and create the same fold on the other side.

After folding both flaps, cut along the smallest fold, creating a rounded triangle.

After cutting open your piece and cut out 2 out the "triangles". And color the middle in whichever way you would like to make it look like the middle a flower.
