- Accordion Fold the Paper Starting from the shorter side, fold the stacked paper back and forth in small accordion folds about ½ to 1 inch wide, folding along the entire length.
- Cut the Edges for Petal Shape At the center of the folded stack, cut small notches on both sides to help form petals. You can also shape the outer edges of the folded paper by trimming rounded or pointed edges to create varied petal textures.
