As you
already know paper is one of the essential supplies when it comes to DIY
projects. You can create almost anything out of it, from gift cards to bags and
even some smaller pieces of furniture. But still, one of the most intriguing
techniques when it comes to paper is the origami or paper folding. The great
thing about it is that you basically start with a simple piece of paper, but
the result is something amazing. So today, you are going to learn how to fold
butterflies out of paper, which you can afterwards use in your future craft
projects.
You
will only need a piece of paper that has the following size: 13x13 cm. Take the
paper and fold it in half. Unfold the paper and fold it again, the opposite way
you did it first. After this unfold again.
Turn the paper with its bottom up and fold it diagonally. Unfold, then
fold it the opposite way and unfold again. Take the sides and push them in the
middle of the square. Fold the sides of
the paper towards the middle and turn the paper again and rotate it 180
degrees. Fold its bottom to the upper part and pull the tip to the opposite
side. Try and not to push the sides of the paper down. Take the butterfly and
fold it in the middle and that is all. You can use the folded butterfly to
decorate a gift you bought for someone’s birthday or make several butterflies
and hang the somewhere in your room.
