How to collapse for rose brooch

[Shahidul]

I'm new to Origami and I don't know how to do a twisting collapse. Please help me. It is step 9 on

(Warning) I didn't test fold this personally, so I might be a bit off here.

Step 9 looks to me like simply collapsing as shown should be enough and no actual manual twisting is involved. If you perform those 4 folds in step 9 you should see, that the 4 flaps are overlapping. You begin with making the first fold and slightly flatten it, then make the next fold which gives you a flap that goes partly above the first one. Similarly, the 3rd fold results in a flap going over the second flap and the last fold gives you a flap going over the 3rd flap. However, for the last flap you now have to do some fiddling (that's why you shouldn't completely flatten things before), because the very first flap you created should be above that last flap.

In the end each of the flaps is above another flap and at the same time below a third flap. Due to the lines at which you perform the folds the result appears slightly twisted, but as far as I can tell from the diagram you shouldn't have to do any twisting yourself. It should just fall into place when done correctly. Keep posting if you're not getting it and maybe I can fold it myself this evening to verify the above.
