Introduction: Butterfly Origami Wall Decor
This post is on how to make a beautiful wall decor incorporating origami in butterfly shape.
Step 1: Materials Required
Color paper/Origami paper
Scissors
Double sided tape/one sided tap
Step 2:
I chose 15cmx15cm. If you are using color paper, make sure you take a
square paper. Its simple, just fold two diagonally opposite sides and make sure a clean triangle is formed, cut the remaining.
Step 3:
Fold the other side diagonally as well to get a “X”.
Step 4:
Fold horizontally and vertically as well.
Step 5:
When you open, You should have a “X” and “+”
Step 6:
Fold on the horizontal line.
On the right side, push from the top side diagonally till the marked end (halfway)
Step 7:
This is how it will look like now from top. Push the edge completely inside to form a right angled triangle.
Step 8:
Do the same on the other side.
Step 9:
Now fold the triangles. Cut on the bottom edge as per the marked line (a small curve)
Step 10:
Open up and fold the curved edge along the green line to the top.
Step 11:
Do it on the other side to form a Heart.
Step 12:
Now turn it upside down
Step 13:
This is the tricky part, take the bottom edge and fold & move, by
popping the heart, and moving towards the top so that a small triangle is formed on the top as shown in the picture.
Step 14:
Now bend this triangle on top and join the top wings, folding in between.
Step 15:
Pinch the middle portion from outside, after folding.
Step 16:
Open the wings and here is your beautiful butterfly :)
Step 17:
I made them in rainbow colors and pasted them on wall using tapes. Trust me it looks amazing in person than on the pic :)
Its time to make a big flower near the butterflies
