What we're going to do is we're going to take and fold it over so we have just the diamond shape, just the large diamond shape. What we're going to do is starting where the multitude of all these stems are out, we're going to take and we're going to just fold it in half like this right along that line. Make sure it's very straight and crease it very nice. There we go. What this is going to do is this is going to make this stem a little bit smaller. We're going to reach up here and we're going to just do this the same side, making sure everything creases real good and nice. There we go. Fold it back over.
