- Step 1: Prepare your paper. Use a square sheet of origami paper. Choose a color or pattern that suits your butterfly. Place the colored side facing up to begin.
- Step 2: Create base creases. Start by folding the paper in half diagonally or horizontally (depending on the diagram) to create a center crease, then unfold. Press firmly with your fingers to ensure sharp, crisp creases.
- Step 3: Follow the diagram. Following the dashed lines in the diagram (valley folds and mountain folds), fold the corners and edges inward or backward accordingly. Ensure the edges are perfectly aligned for a clean result.
- Step 4: Shape and finish. Adjust the final edges and gently pull out any hidden folds to add volume or shape to your butterfly. Give all the creases one final firm press to complete your model.
