Both sides of the square piece of paper are coloured.
Step 1:You don't need to make exactly the same folds as I did for
this rose. I'm not very precise making the folds for this
model too, this makes each rose a little different from the
others.
Make a valley-fold over this line.
Step 2:
Make a valley-fold over this line.
Step 3:
Make a valley-fold over this line.
Step 4:
Now you've made a paper with 5 sides.
Fold the 3 ends of the model back to the outside by making
a valley-fold over the blue lines.
Step 5:
Hold the piece at the dot on the left between two fingers.
Grab the piece at the dot on the right with your other hand
and pull it to the left, to the place indicated by the dot on the
left.
Do this by making a valley-fold over the line on the left and
a mountain-fold over the line on the right.
Step 6:
Repeat step 5 on the other 4 sides of the model, see the
yellow arrows.
Step 7:
Now the model looks like this.
Step 8:
Hold the model the same as I do in this picture.
Pull one of the corners at the arrows counter clockwise
with your other hand.
Do this with each corner that is indicated by an arrow.
Step 9:
Turn the model.
Make sure the model stays in the same shape while you
do this.
Step 10:
Press the bottom of the flower inwards from all angels,
see arrows. Then, turn the bottom a little bit counter
clockwise with your other hand.
Step 11:
The model won't open by itself anymore after the folds
from step 10.
Step 12:
Pull or curl some loose ends (see arrows) downwards.
Step 13:
One flower is ready....
You can add a little glue to the bottom of this flower and
glue it to the top of a stem.

If your stem is to thick just fold it in half over the length
to make it thinner.

You only have to push the edge of this leaf inwards with
your nail on several places to make it look like the leaf
of a rose (do this after step 13 of the diagrams).
Glue about 3 leaves to one stem.
The pot is filled with foam and I placed 7 stems with a flower
on it in the foam.Finally, I layed origami sand on top of the foam, to cover it.
