Hide the sharp corners and bend the triangles in half and inwards. It remains to add the detail as shown in the photo and you will get one module for the flower. 

Make five more pieces from the remaining squares, and then glue them into one flower. The advantage of such a modular craft is that it can be fixed on one stem and you can make an unusual bouquet with it.
