Origami Butterfly
I made a card for my niece’s Bridal Shower with an Origami Butterfly. Start with Arnold Grummer's Paper Making. Use a square piece of paper. I used handmade paper 5 inches square to fit my 5 x 4 inch card. Only a few steps involved: 1. Fold diagonally both ways using a bone folder. 2. Scrunch the middle together: poke in the center, like this: 3. Fold flaps down to center point - on one side only. 4. Turn over & fold up past the edge - as on the right below. 5. Fold top flaps down & create corner folds - at bottom. 6. Turn over and fold in half - looks like this: 7. Use an awl or needle tool to punch holes for adding a tiny brad to the nose to puff it out. For the card: Put through Sizzix for embossing the flowers; added the butterfly (without the brad) and flattened it. Ribbon from Target says: “Happily Ever After” - taped that on the card.
