Origami butterflies from paper with their own hands will be made precisely from this geometric figure. We take the workpiece and bend it first vertically, then horizontally, and then along two diagonals. Now turn the square over and bend the top side down so that the square turns into two triangles. Detailed instructions in the picture are located above. Now you need to bend the two lower corners of the triangle up, and then turn the workpiece to the other side. We bend the bottom corner up and turn the figure over again. Now you need to fold the blank in half, and the butterfly will be ready.

A stencil is cut out and a silhouette of a butterfly is drawn from colored paper on it. For this purpose, you need to use thick sheets or take colored cardboard. Your paper must be double-sided. You can use sheets with a small print, for example, stripes or polka dots. Cut out the insect. Now in the body you need to make two horizontal incisions. They are more convenient to create with a clerical knife, rather than scissors. The butterfly is ready. She can decorate both pencils and pens.
Corrugated Paper Butterfly
This decor will be the perfect complement to any background for photos. For example, you can create a photozone from flowers, and decorate its butterflies from corrugated paper. With your own hands to create such figures will be very simple. We select the appropriate material in pastel or bright colors. Now you should cut a long rectangle. The edges of this geometric shape should be shaped like a wave. Now with scissors along two edges you need to make small cuts. Fold the rectangle in half, and then double again. Now we wire the blank in the middle with a wire. The antennae should be made from the remaining ends of the clamp. They can be wrapped with thread or painted with acrylic paint. Also, the body of the butterfly can be decorated with beads, beads or rhinestones.
Decorative mobile
Such a decorative element will fit perfectly into the nursery. To create this craft, you should stock up with thick double-sided paper or cardboard. We cut out figures of butterflies of different sizes from it. It is desirable to make insects in one color scheme. We take a thread and attach two butterflies. We glue them together with bodies, passing a rope between the blanks. Two or three figures can be strung on one thread. From white cardboard we create clouds. One of them should be big - this will be the basis of the mobile. The four others should be smaller. Between themselves, clouds can also vary both in shape and in size. Glue the blanks in the middle in pairs. Now we attach the threads to one big cloud. As a result, we get a mobile with butterflies fluttering in the clouds.
