You will need to flip the paper upside down and fold the triangles on the top and bottom in. Then fold the top right corner of the paper to the top left corner of the paper. Then fold the bottom left corner of the paper to the bottom right corner of the paper. Then unfold the last four folds you did.

Just kidding you will need to grab the outside of each of the red or pink pockets and gently push them in about a half an inch. You will need to do it three times. Then you will need to pull the green flaps out, they act as petals for the flower.
