| Text | This folding creates a stem with a leaf at its upper end. It is possible to slip a flower into a pocket created at the height of the leaf.
1. Take a square sheet, hold it on the lower tip. 2. Bring the right vertex to the left vertex by a valley fold from right to left on the vertical diagonal. We obtain a triangular shape formed by two triangular flaps linked on the right by a vertical hinge fold. 3. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from left to right passing through the lower vertex, the lower left edge of the front flap on the hinge fold located on the right. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. 5. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from right to left passing through the lower apex, the lower right edge of the front flap on the hinge fold located on the left. We obtain a triangular shape with an elongated point downwards. 6. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from right to left passing through the upper vertex, the upper right edge of the front flap on the hinge fold located on the left. The fold must be made through all thicknesses. 7. Flip the fold from right to left. 8. Bring, by an oblique valley fold from left to right passing through the upper vertex, the upper left edge of the front flap on the hinge fold located on the right. The fold must be made through all thicknesses. We obtain a triangular shape which has a small triangular flap at the top. This triangle has a small free side which starts from the left vertex of the shape and joins obliquely to the right side of the shape. 9. Arrange the triangular shape so that its longest side is at the top, horizontally. Depending on the case, the triangular shape has a front triangular flap located on the left or right. A flap located on the left will give a sheet going towards the right, a flap located on the right will give a sheet going towards the left. 10. Bring, by an oblique valley fold, the lower side of the triangular shape located on the side of the front triangle on the upper horizontal edge. Mark the fold well. Watch carefully for the sharp point that forms, as well as the triangle which tends to slide outwards. 11. Bring the rear flap of the triangular shape forward, rotating it around the top edge. This amounts to transforming the mountain hinge fold into a valley fold. 12. Bring, by an oblique valley fold, the lower side of the triangular shape located on the side of the front triangle on the upper horizontal edge. Mark the fold well. We have a triangular shape with a very sharp point on one side. This will be the stem. Normally, the side facing you carries, on the right or left depending on your choice, a fairly thick triangular front flap. Starting from the upper apex of this front flap, we find an oblique fold which is the entrance to a pocket which will be used to slip a flower. The back of the triangular shape is smooth. 13. Bring, through a valley fold located a small distance from the upper summit of the front triangular flap, the top of the point not carrying a flap on the large upper edge. Mark the fold well. There is no reference point. For a paper measuring 21 cm x 21 cm, half a centimeter is sufficient. 14. Return the flap that you have just folded to the vertical, rotating it around the valley fold that you have just created. In front of you, the vertical flap has an opening. 15. Insert your right thumb inside the vertical flap, as far down as possible, spreading the edges. Pull the tip forward, gradually removing your thumb and flattening the folds that form. We have just made a flattened fold, which gives the sheet. We now have a stem and a leaf. The top of the stem has a small pocket which is just waiting for the tail of the flower to be slipped inside.
