Crafts for children. A nice origami butterfly

1. Fold a sheet of paper in half, until you join one corner with another. Then repeat this step with the other two corners of our square.

2. Bring our four corners to the center of the square and mark the folds.

3. We turn over our sheet of paper and fold each of its corners towards the center again.

4. We turn our page and unfold it completely.

5. We make a fold towards the center of our sheet until we reach the center and we do the same with the opposite side.

6. We opened the top of the sheet according to the folds we had marked. Then we mark a new fold down, creating a similar look to the roof of a house.

7. Repeat the previous step but with the bottom of our sheet. Next we join our two folds.

8. We bend one of the corners of our figure downwards forming a triangle and do the same with the other corner.

9. We vote on our sheet and fold it in half.

10. We mark a small fold right in the middle of the figure, on one side and then on the other.

11. We turn our butterfly around and identify the fold we made earlier.

12. Since we have identified our fold, we mark it again by folding the butterfly in half, first on the left side and then on the right side.

This is our final result. You like?
