Place third one as shown (over pink; under green).

Place fourth one as shown (under pink; over green).

Now to form spiral. Just remember to go counter clockwise. I'm going to identify them by color now to make easier. Fold patterned one down as shown.

Fold pink one over towards left as shown.

Fold the dark one up like so.

Hold patterned one straight up &...

Fold green over to right.

Here is first round complete. Now just keep going. Always remember to go counter clockwise.

Here's a couple more rounds completed.

And done. You can either twist the little points, leave as is, or glue down. Ah, but wait. What if you flip it over & do the exact same thing on the other side?...

You get this! Just pull on the points gently to make it more three dimensional. You can squish it over n over if you're bored.

Here's what they look like all done. How about another option?...

Well, after you finish the front side in step 22, flip it over.

Fold pink down.

Fold green over to right.
