"Starting with the frog base, we are going to take some glue, and the purpose of this is to make sure our origami will last. We are going to glue right where the petal folds are for all four sections, like this. Take a dab of glue, and put it on the edges of your petal fold. Glue them down, fold the triangle down, and right now, I'm not going to show do all four sections, but you get the idea. Fold down all the triangles, and glue the petal folds down, and then fold our flower like we would, and then glue those folds down. And after they have been glued, clip it between your clothespin, and let it dry for about five to ten minutes. After it's dried, open your flower, curl the petals if you like, and you have the finished petal ready to be made into a flower."
