This is the origami creasing stage. Take one flower and pinch a crease from the point of the nick to the centre. Repeat for each of the nicks which should leave you with a piece of paper that now has a point at the centre. If you're happy with the shape of the flower at this stage, you can leave it here and move onto the next step.

Otherwise if you're after a bit more detail, take your creased flower and make a reverse crease towards the centre of the petal. That crease should come naturally based on the first set of crease you made (essentially the crease made when you join the two existing creases together). Continue for each of the other petals.

You should end up with a five petalled flower that has some body and shape. Repeat this procedure for all other flowers. You'll end up with a nice stack of formed flowers. This is the kind of task that you can do in front of the TV which makes the folding part go more quickly.
