Now flip it over again and it should look a lot like a butterfly. I suggest making a little crease on each side where there is resistance to make the little triangles flat. When you try to fold the flaps down, there will be a little resistance because it’s not a clean fold. Now fold down the two flaps which are going to be the bottom wings. But do not fold over the separate flaps just the one. Now flip over the butterfly and fold over the little mountain that is slightly over the horizon. Then repeat with the other one.įlip over to the other side and have the top point of the triangle facing down.įold the top point of the triangle with flaps slightly past the bottom of the triangle. It should look like a triangle with two layers.įold one of the flaps toward the point of the triangle. That should easily fold down and create a triangle. This should create a triangle, with leftover paper on the top. This means you will fold the nine o’clock crease on the six o’clock crease.Ĥ c. Now, do the same process, but on the left side. Align the first crease (3 o’clock) with the second crease (6 o’clock) and fold it.Ĥb. Locate this crease and bring it to the six o’clock crease on the bottom part of your square, which is vertical. This crease could also be three on a clock, if you’d like to look at it that way. The first thing you want to do is look for the crease on the right hand side of the square, which is horizontal. Note the symmetry of the folds on your square, almost like a snowflake. Then fold it hot dog style (like you’re back in elementary school). Unfold the paper and return it to the square again. Unfold it then repeat with the other side. Once you have a square, fold it across from corner to corner. Then cut where the folded page ends to create a square. Take one of those and take a corner and line it up with the side like this. If you don’t have one you can take any other kind of paper like wrappers, receipts, or news papers. Enjoy and happy folding! Step One:įind a square piece of paper. Bored in quarantine and in search of a fun, simple activity to do? Well, you’re in luck! Here is a step-by-step guide to making your own origami butterfly, with pictures for each part.
