4) Lightly fold the four corners (this time, do not fold to the center).

5) Press one of these corners with your left fingers. At the same time, use your right fingers to pull up the reverse side of the paper. Flip it up.

6) Maneuver the paper till you get the shape of a lotus petal.

7) Repeat steps 5-6 for the other three corners such that they all resemble lotus petals.
