Origami Matthews Butterfly
A mysterious and very beautiful Mathews butterfly will turn out if you follow the instructions given below clearly. You can play with it and use it as a decoration. If you make a lot of butterflies and glue them on a large sheet of paper, you will get a wonderful picture. Intrigued? Then let’s get started.
Place a 15×15 cm square sheet of paper face down.
Fold the paper vertically and unfold it again.
Wrap one side parallel to the center line.
Cut off the excess along the fold line.
Fold the paper in half horizontally, then vertically.
Press well and unfold.
Pull the paper apart on one side, pressing the top corner against the center axis.
Flip the sheet over.
Do the same on the other side.
Make 2 diagonal folds on the inside, then unfold.
Wrap the corners inward along the fold lines.
Unfold the paper with the corner facing down.
Open the wings of the butterfly at an angle.
Fold the butterfly in half to give it volume.
This is the butterfly we have. Very similar to the real one.
Will you be able to repeat it and send us the result? We will be glad to receive your comments and crafts.
