The lotus candle holder has three layers – two similar and one different. You need to first cut out square shape colored paper of your choice and fold it across its diagonal, next fold against diagonal into half and so forth and eventually make 8 folds.

You need to cut out this shape into a flower petal by following the lines like in below picture. The one where two lines are drawn will form the outer two layer and the one lined template will be the inner layer. The outer layer will hence have a laced petal and inner layer will have full petals.
