Start with a piece of square paper.

Fold the paper in half diagonally and then unfold.

Fold the paper in half diagonally along the other side and unfold again. These will leave diagonal creases on the paper.

Turn the paper to the other side.

Now, fold the paper in half vertically and horizontally and then unfold it.

Fold up the paper along the diagonal creases and push the vertical and horizontal creases down. This will form a 4-point star shape.

Flatten the origami paper to form a triangle pattern with the point of the triangle pointing down.

Fold in half with the fold going diagonal and bring all four triangle ends together on one side.

Using the scissors round the edges of the four triangle ends.

Open the end and bring pairs on each side.

Fold the left open edge inside, along the middle crease of the pattern.

In the same fashion, fold the right side down.

Turn the origami to the other side.

Fold up the bottom triangle and bring it all the way up. A small (about a cm) part of the triangle should peek out of the pattern on the other side.

Turn the origami project over to the other side.

Lastly, fold the extra tip to the front and apply glue on the tip (1 cm part) to secure the fold and complete the origami butterfly pattern.
