Step 12

On each side of the middle line, make two more equally spaced lines with the razor blade. These lines should then go towards the middle-score (but do not meet) so they look like orange-sections. To make them equally sized, make marks before doing the lines.

Look at my picture for guidance, but the sections don´t have to be perfectly even sized just about the same.

Step 13

Now, turn the orange-section over and correct the flat surface and score, if needed. You will now make the lines between orange sections in the score. This can be a bit tricky, but just take your time.

Start with the first orange section at the top, look for the two lines that comes from the back side. Then take your blade and connect the two lines.

If you look close at my picture you will see these lines, coming from the back side.

Step 14

Your orange section should look like the image. With one line that makes a orange section.
