Petal Fold
Petal folds are a fundamental technique used to create a symmetrical shape that resembles a two layered petal. It can be found in classic bases like the Bird base, as well as being used to create additional “points” in a model for things like legs or arms in some cases.
In diagrams, these are usually shown as opening a section and then collapsing the sides inwards to create the flattened result.
The key to a clean Petal fold is accurate pre-creasing and careful flattening of the layers.
