Steps To Make A Origami Butterfly
If you want to do some papercraft and you have collected all the materials, just follow these steps, and you’ll have your paper butterfly in your hands.

Step 2: Now, bring the sides together in the middle. To construct a triangle, fold the centerfolds in and collapse down. A waterbomb base is what it’s called.
Join edges
Step 3: Both corners’ top edges should be folded up to meet in the middle. Fold it past the top edge so that the triangle’s tip extends over the edge. Flatten the crease’s center but not the edges.
