Take a rectangle, and thread the middle finger of your right hand through alternating strips of dough. In the first photo you can see that the rectangle is draped over the finger, hanging by the first, third and fifth strips of dough.

With your left hand, pinch together the outer corners of dough which hang near the tip of your finger. This will form the center of the flower shape.
