Bend second corner as the first one.

Bend both parts again in the middle as on the picture. (It is better seen on the video at the end of this tutorial). 

Fold both little triangles that extend over the edges.

This is how the other side whith folded triangles should looks like.

Now fold both outer parts inside as on the picture above.

Apply glue on both flaps.

Right now it is time to use office paper clips. Put both glued sides together and attach pin to keep them together until the glue is dry.

After all eight parts of flower are made, you can start to glue them together.
