Even though there are so many procedures for both a body and a flower decoration,

try to fold each procedure nice and slow!

The beginning of the body part is the work of making creases for the latter part.

Even though it’s a lot of work, try to make each crease nicely!

You can use the flower decoration itself, so try to remember how to fold.

It’s useful!★
