ORIGAMI LILY WITH FIVE PETALS (not four!)
This lily is a little more difficult to fold the the common one with 4 petals.
Step 1:
The paper for this model is completely white on both sides.
Prefold over these 4 lines.
Step 2:
Make a valley-fold over these 4 lines.
Step 3:
Turn the model.
Step 4:
Make these folds from the edge of the model
to the center, not any further.
First, make 2 valley-folds below, on the right. Then, make
2 mountain-folds in the middle. And make 2 valley-folds
on the top left.
Step 5:
Pull the piece indicated by the arrow upwards by
making a valley-fold over the red line.
Step 6:
Press the 2 layers indicated by the smaller arrows
against each other. Then press the loose piece flat
from above with your other hand, see large arrow.
Step 7:
Repeat step 6 on the other 3 loose pieces, see arrows.
Step 8:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Step 9:
Unfold the folds from step 8.
Step 10:
Pull the edge at the arrow downwards by making
a valley-fold over the red line.
Step 11:
Press the edges that stand upwards down (see arrows),
so everything becomes flat.
Step 12:
Fold the triangular end (in the middle) upwards by making
a valley-fold over the red line.
Step 13:
Repeat step 8 to 12 on the other 3 same pieces of the model.
Step 14:
Pull the two ends at the bottom of each arrow outwards,
in the direction of these arrows.
Step 15:
Fold the triangular piece above the red line to the inside of
the model by making a mountain-fold over this red line.
Step 16:
Push the 2 ends indicated by the arrows towards each other,
so the model is closed again.
Now the model has the same shape as in step 14, but now
the loose triangular piece is folded to the inside of the model.
Step 17:
Repeat step 14 to 16 on the other 3 triangular ends.
Step 18:
Push the 2 pieces indicated by the arrows upwards by
making a valley-fold over the red line.
Step 19:
Pull the upper layer of paper (see arrows) upwards,
loose from the rest of the model.
This is almost like pulling a sock inside out.
(You don't have to make new folding lines)

Step 20:
Make a valley-fold over these (prefolded) lines.

Step 21:
Fold the petal below the red line upwards by making
a valley-fold over this red line.
Step 22:
Make a valley-fold over this line.
Step 23:
And make a mountain-fold on the other petal.
Step 24:
Press the loose pieces flat between two fingers,
see arrows.
Step 25:
Repeat steps 22 to 24 on the other side of the petal,
see arrow.
Step 26:
Turn the model.
Step 27:
Make a mountain-fold over these 2 lines, make the same
fold on the other side of these 2 petals, see upper arrows.
And make the same 2 folds as above on the petal in
front,
see arrows below.
Step 28:
Press the 2 layers of the corner indicated by the arrow
in the middle against each other. Then, lock them together
by making a mountain-fold on this corner over both
layers
in once.
Make the same fold as above on the other two corners,
see arrows.
The picture of step 30 shows the 3 corners on which
you've
made these folds.
Step 29:
Curl all five petals outwards by just rolling them up outwards.

Step 30:
The flower is ready...
Step 31:
This paper is for the leaves.
Turn the paper.

Step 32:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.

Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.

And make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Curl the leaf a little bit.

Make about 7 leaves for one flower with stem.

Glue the flower and leaves to a stem.
