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