    We start from the beginning: pull down the two little wings to tighten the center of the knot.

    Step 15

    This is the butterfly shape, with the little wing smaller than the wings on the left and right.

  16. Step 16

    Step 16

    This is the flower shape, with the wings of the same measure.
    You can join the ends (with a knot or cutting and joining the ends with the glue) to make the fifth petal.

  17. Step 17

    The last step is to spread a drop of glue on the retro of the knot.

Don't worry ^^ It's easy like it appears.
For the first time just have patience and make attention on the under-and-up...then you'll remember it without the tutorial ^^
