How to make a butterfly. I have used plain paper to demonstrate.
- Start with a square. Ours were different sizes – between 5cm and 10cm.
- Fold in half – both ways – turn over – and fold on the diagonals – both ways.
- Push in two sides – as shown in the picture below.
4. Push in the two opposite sides (step 3) until the paper is flat.
5. Fold two corners over to meet the centre line
- Turn over and lift the bottom piece up, so the top point is slightly over the paper. When you do this the folded triangles will start to open – that’s good!
- Fold the tip over the paper and push hard!
- Pinch and squeeze the centre together and release. You should now have a beautiful butterfly!
I folded all the butterflies – and they really turned out so pretty!
Hope you enjoyed our Origami Butterflies – we loved making them!
