Butterfly Model Step 6

Butterfly

Butterfly Fold #14
Two diagonal valley folds, like a paper airplane, extending just below center to the top edge, just slightly to the left and right, will define the head of the butterfly and seperate the bottom wings.

Mountain fold the butterfly in half through the center line.

Butterfly Fold #15
The completed butterfly model has beautiful sharp angles that lend great contrast to the gentleness of the butterfly.

Two valley folds, extending from the center crease just below the top edge, to the top edge just to the left and right of the center crease, will define the head of the butterfly, and seperate the bottom wings.

Origami Butterfly
Two paper butterflies on calendula flowers.

I enjoy the contrast between the sharp angular folds in this model, and the soft, gentleness of the butterfly.
