Origami Butterfly Tutorial - Take A Deep Breath! I posted this origami butterfly card last week and many of you asked if I could do a tutorial on it. So here it is! With Origami you really need to see each step clearly as it can be confusing the first time you make anything. There are 11 steps shown here! I suggest you use a piece of plain computer paper the first time you try to make this butterfly. Once you get it - you can whip them out in just a couple of minutes! To make the small butterflies that end up to be about 1 3/4" x 2 " I used a piece of Origami paper 2" x 3". For this tutorial I'm using a piece of Origami paper 4 x 6 and it makes a butterfly about 3" x 4".

You should use a piece of double sided Origami paper - ie. printed on each side - since both sides end up showing and it makes it more colorful. Step 1: Hold paper with the longer side at top and bottom, front side up. Step 2: Fold in half bringing top down to meet bottom and crease. Step 4: Fold in half bringing the top down to the bottom and crease. Crease the edges. Basteln macht Spass! Origami Faltanleitung. Paper Flowers – Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com.

You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together. Easy peasy D.I.Y - Beyond Beyond | Beyond Beyond.
