It may fly afway…

Description 

I’ve known how to make this butterfly for ages, so I thought I should share it with you;)

I realized it is really hard to explain the way I fold, so if you don’t understand, please say so, I’ll try to help;)

You can use any kind of paper, provided that it’s foldable and has a nice color on one or both sides;)


Instructions 

  1. 1

    Step 1

    First, take a square piece of paper with the white side up.

    Fold it in half and fold the sides to the fold in the middle. Lay flat.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Fold down the corners, but don’t let them touch the folds you’ve just made.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Fold the sides, over the corners you’ve just folded, it should look like this.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Fold the piece in half over the length.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Fold the corners down. (The corners of the CLOSED side)

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Now comes the tricky part, you have to follow all the folds you’ve made, and this should be the result.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Fold the side in the middle (yeah right) down for about half a cm.

    It should look like this.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Take the flaps and fold them over the fold you’ve just made.
    Make sure it lay flat.
    Now your butterfly has wings.

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Fold the piece in half. (mountainfold)

  10. 10

    Step 10

    Another tricky part; take one wing and fold it upwards, it should look like this:

  11. 11

    Step 11

    Turn it around and do the same with the other wing.

    If you lay it down on the table, the wings and the body will be shaped like a W, \/\/, so the wings point slightly upwards.

  12. 12

    Step 12

    Take the butterfly in your hand, and fold the “body” like this:

  13. 13

    Step 13

    Lay flat, the part that you’ve just folded up.

  14. 14

    Step 14

    The last thing, fold the flap that connects the ings down, like this:

  15. 15

    Step 15

    And here’s your brand new Butterfly:-D
