If you already know how to make a fortune teller then you can skip this part.

First fold the paper in half diagonally. Then fold it in half again on the opposite side as shown in the pictures.

Fold each of the corners into the middle so it will be a slightly smaller square.

Flip the square over and fold in the corners again.

Smooth out the square and fold it in half both ways.

Pull out the flaps that are underneath until it looks like the last two pictures.

Take the flaps and fold them upward do this on all the flaps.

Spread them out so they are flat on your hard surface.

Once you have your 2nd fortune teller fold back the flaps like you did with the first one.

Once you have folded back the flaps take the corner of the flap and fold it so the green side is showing so it's green on white.

Do this on all the flaps.

Flip the paper over.

Fold in those flaps and make a crease.

Then pull them out slightly so it will look like a little table.

Attach the Flower

Or just crumple it up in the first place :)
