Make beautiful paper butterflies with this easy origami butterfly model! This tutorial shows how to fold a new and original butterfly origami model that I designed. For best results, use a square piece of paper with different colors or patterns on each side.
This butterfly is a variation of my easy origami butterfly design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tky2GrR3XKg (a different color for each pair of wings).
This model is very easy and takes only a few minutes to fold, so you can easily make lots of butterflies, that you can then use for crafts and DIY projects (e.g. greeting cards, scrapbooking, wrapping gifts), for decorating a wall, to make a mobile display etc. Please send me pictures of your butterflies and projects that use this model! I will showcase them on the http://origami.plus site.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to fold a Beautiful Butterfly (photo diagram and/or video).

Some project ideas using these colorful butterflies:
- outdoor photography: in a park or your garden, snap pictures of origami butterflies on plants, flowers etc.
- framed origami butterflies: display a collection of many butterflies of different colors, like a butterfly collector!
- wall of butterflies: make lots of butterflies and stick them on the wall of your bedroom.
- combine origami and drawing: draw some flowers on a sheet of paper with crayons or paint, and then glue butterflies on your drawing.
- your ideas! :-)
