This is the tutorial for making a paper butterfly. Below are the pictures and text tutorials.
Tip: the thinner the paper the easier to fold.
Step 1: Start with a square piece of paper and then fold the paper in half along the horizontal and vertical axes, then unfold.
Step 2: Now you're going to want to fold the paper along the two diagonals, then procceed to unfold again.
Step 3: Next, bring the two sides of the paper to the center, flattening to form a triangle.
Step 4: Then, take the bottom corners of the top layer of the triangle and fold them up to meet the top point.
Step 5: Turn the origami over, fold the point upwards, then fold the tip back over the top to secure it.
Step 6: Fold the butterfly in half along the centerline, bringing both sides together to finish the butterfly. However if you wish to colour your butterfly feel free to. Get creative!
