Oups, sorry, that’s exactly the opposite: pink is valley, black is mountain. Else the flower is in the wrong way (must follow the Nature!).

For the following of the lines, you can use a ballpoint pen. And if it’s not writing anymore, that’s the perfect tool to use

@leonoor: I’ve made the folds, and it’s mountain for the pink lines, and valley for the black ones. There no cut to do at all.

@mawar: just use a scissors (the edge of one pair), or something else that’s sharp but that doesn’t really cut (such as a knife but with the non-cutting side), and follow the lines. This way you’ll squeeze a little bit the paper and the fold will be a piece of cake.

@oschene: GREAT JOB! The only one I could find on the Internet, but it’s just a perfect one, that closes perfectly. I’m really happy

Oschene,

I find it hard to fold the paper when the line is a curved line. Is there any tools to do so?

Thank you.

Guys, do you even bother to read the other comments? THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS. Check the link that oschene posted above to see the “Pentagon from a circle” directions. Seriously, you can figure it out from there, just try it.

There aren’t any instructions, I’m afraid — if there were, I’d post them.

However, if you make the pentagon in a circle, and then look at the crease pattern, you’ll find you’re halfway there.
