Fold the paper alternating back and forth. When you are done it should look like a fan. Use the floral wire or pipe cleaner to attach the "stem". Fold over the wire so there is a short end and a long end. Twist the short end around the long end. Cut the ends of your flowers to a point. Do not forget to do this. Carefully pull each layer up towards the center of the flower. Ta-Da a beautiful Mexican paper flower!
