This method makes a petal block. I've used a traditional shape, but you can create any petal design, and make unique flowers.

At today's #RoyalInstitution #engineering masterclass at #warwickuni we designed & built lamp panels from paper using #turtlestitch to create the pattern in the paper. Lots of creative designs & unusual patterns were made by local school students. Resources are here: www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch

Now can you make a snowflake?
