Easy way to make a Paper Butterfly.

Everyone can make a paper butterfly; it’s a simple and entertaining craft.

Whether you want to make a beautiful origami butterfly for decoration or just to relax, follow this step-by-step tutorial.

Materials You’ll Need make a Paper Butterfly:

• scissors
• Color Paper (Origami; 5 by 5 inches is suggested, although you can try experimenting with other sizes)
• Depending on the thickness of your paper, glue may not be necessary.

Step-by-Step Instructions to make Paper Butterfly:

1. Get Your Paper Ready
First, create a square form out of the origami paper. For a standard butterfly, a 5 x 5 inch square works nicely, but you can easily modify the size to suit your needs.

2. Make the Initial Folds
Make a mountain fold by first folding your paper in half, then unfold it. After then, fold it the other way and unfold it once more. At this point, you should see a cross formed by the two folds on your paper.

3. Incorporate Diagonal Folds
Then, fold your paper along both diagonals to create two more vertical folds. When you spread it, the paper should now have a grid-like pattern.

4. Create a Triangle
Fold the paper in half, pushing the center folds inside to create a triangle. This is your butterfly’s basic form.

5. Form the Wings
In the direction of the triangle’s center, fold the uppermost layer of each corner. The butterfly’s wings are formed at this step.

6. Build the Structure
Next, flip the triangle over and lift the lower corner. Fold it past the top edge so the tip extends slightly over the top. As you do this, flatten the middle of the fold while keeping the corners slightly raised for dimension.

7. Hold the Fold Secure
To attach the triangle’s tip, you might need to use a small amount of glue if your paper is thicker. If not, just firmly fold the tip down.

8. Last Bite
To give the butterfly a more natural shape, fold it in half at the center once you’re done. Now that you’ve completed the folding, your origami butterfly is ready for display!

Show off and Have Fun!

No matter where you put it—on a shelf, in a wall display, or even inside a greeting card—your butterfly will bring a little bit of charm.
