Prepare the pieces of ribbon
Singe all cuts of the ribbon so that the ribbon does not fall apart. Four-layer petals will be made of squares with a side of 5 cm in purple, cream and silver. Unusual rhombuses for the top layer will be made of lilac squares.
-
Fold a triangle from a square
Bend in half the purple squares (6 pieces) with a 5 cm side to make the top layer details.
-
Make a petal from a triangle
Bend the squares again. You should get triangles. Fix the central fold with your fingers or a needle, and return the side corners in front. Gather the petal in the lower part, squeeze the bottom with your fingers, cut off the excess and glue it together. Volumetric blank with folds is ready.

Sew lilac petals for the flower
Collect 6 beautiful lilac petals on a thread. Pick up a hugger with a chameleon. Decoration for the middle can be different.

Use cream and purple square pieces
