How to make Paper Butterfly Step by Step
- Take a bright coloured square sheet (15cm by 15cm)
- Next, fold it into half and further fold this half into a square.
- Once you fold it to a square shape, further fold this square into a triangle.
- Fold it on both sides
- After you open the sheet you will have a cross intersection of crease lines and a vertical and horizontal intersection of crease lines.
- Further, fold the horizontal crease line inwards to form two triangles on either side of this horizontal line.
- Next, you will now have a triangle ready.
- Fold this triangle into half and cut just the apex on the right.
- Next, open this sheet and fold the front triangle into two small vertical triangles on the sides
- Next, flip the sheep upside down and you will have the apex of the triangle pointing down on another side.
- Lift this side up and fold it horizontally.
- Next, a small portion of the apex would come above the baseline, just fold that part and lock it there.
- Next, fold this triangle into half at the midline on the outer side.
- So now you have the upper wings and the lower wings of the butterfly ready.
- Flip this entire side and you have your butterfly ready kids.
- You can use glue to fix the wings in place.
