Repeat for a third time

Take ur squares and create two stacks of about 8 sheets. (I guess they’re abt 12x12?)  

Try to keep everything aligned as you accordion fold the squares back and forth. The section you are folding should be about 1.5-2 in width.

Crease your stack A LOT. Wrap a pipe cleaner around the middle tightly, with some extra length to act like a stem.

Round the corners of the strip no more than 3/4 of an inch. ANGER MANAGEMENT! Hit it against the table.

 It should kinda look like a bowtie at this point. Starting with either side, lift each layer of the flower up gently to try and form the petals. If you encounter a crease that stops the layer from lifting up, cut it! Your flower should be big and fluffy at the end. 

You can half the size by cutting your square stack in the middle and repeating the folding/tying/lifting process.

Fold all sheets in half. Make sure the creases are CRISPY! Fold it in half again.

Get the paper crisply into 16ths by folding in half 2 more times

Leave at least 1.5 in from the edge when cutting the crease. Start by cutting simple shapes along the crease line.

Unflold to get back to the 8ths format. Again, leave 1.5 in from any open edges when cutting ur shapes

Rock and roll, were cutting in the 4ths format now. To make a little heart, envision the symmetrical half of a heart and cut that way.

In the final halved format, you can get a little more complex, or at least have more shapes. Be aware of the 1.5 inches!

Put one of your cut sheets on top of an uncut one! Contrasting colors r recommended. Put a thin strip of glue on all of the edges.
Be light on glue and just lightly tap on the glued papers together gently.. don’t b rough w it
