Step 3
Fold the lower right corner up to the top corner. Crease and

unfold. This is the same corner you just folded in step 3. |

You have completed the left wing. Repeat steps 1 - 5 for the
right wing. |

Step 7
Turn your second wing wing over and rotate it so it looks
like the diagram above. |
Step 8
Fold the top layer of the lower left corner up to the fold
line as indicated by the arrow. |
It should look like
this.

Step 9
To form the butterfly body, open the fold you just created
(using a cocktail stick) and flatten it out as shown. |
Step 10
Slide the top layer of the left wing under the butterfly
body on the right wing so that the bottom layer of the right
wing is sandwiched between the top and bottom layers of the
left wing. |
The completed
butterfly should look like this. You can fold the wings up
slightly on the red dotted lines to give it a 3D effect.
