The image you've uploaded is a
flower notlet template used for crafting, specifically for creating a 3D flower-shaped notelet or card. It includes folding instructions indicated by two types of lines:
-
Blue lines: Fold
in (toward the center)
-
Green lines: Fold
out (away from the center)

🔍 Understanding the Template
This shape is composed of:
- A central hexagon.
- Six petal-like segments extending outward, each shaped like a half-circle attached to one side of the hexagon.
Each petal has:
- One
blue line (fold in) that connects the outer edge of the petal to the center.
- Two
green lines (fold out) that divide the petal into three sections — these are likely meant to create dimension or texture when folded.

✔ Step-by-Step Folding Instructions
1.
Cut out the shape carefully along the black outline.
2.
Fold along the blue lines (fold in):
- These lines go from the tip of each petal toward the center of the hexagon.
- Fold each of these
inward, bringing the petal edges toward the center.
- This creates a 3D effect and helps the flower "bloom" inward.
3.
Fold along the green lines (fold out):
- These are the internal lines within each petal.
- Fold them
outward, away from the center.
- This gives the petals a layered or ruffled appearance.
4.
Assemble the flower:
- After folding all lines as instructed, gently push the center inward while allowing the petals to flare outward.
- The folds should allow the structure to stand up slightly, forming a 3D flower.
5.
Optional: You can glue or tape the back edges together if needed to stabilize the shape.

💡 Tips
- Use thick paper or cardstock for better structure.
- Score the fold lines first with a bone folder for crisp folds.
- Experiment with colors or patterns on the paper before cutting.
