A three-dimensional butterfly made from drawing paper

(Construction paper) Spring Decorations: Easy and Cute Butterfly DIY

Let’s make a 3D butterfly using construction paper! First, prepare a sheet of construction paper and draw a butterfly shape.

Overlap two rectangles—3 cm tall × 10 cm wide on top of 3 cm tall × 8 cm wide—and round the ends into gentle curves.

Next, draw one smaller wing inside each wing.

The sizes are: upper wing 2 cm tall × 7 cm wide, lower wing 2 cm tall × 6 cm wide.

Draw a 2 cm horizontal line in the center of both, too.

Once you’re ready, first cut around the outer edges of the wings, then trace over the inner wing lines and the central horizontal lines with a pen to score them.

Doing this on a soft surface makes it easier to leave marks.

After scoring, make mountain and valley folds in sequence, pinch and fold the butterfly’s center tightly, and glue it in place.

Finally, add the antennae, and your 3D butterfly is complete! Use these dimensional butterflies to decorate your walls and make them stand out from flat designs!

Accordion-fold butterfly made with origami

(Easy Paper Butterfly Origami) Simple origami / Easy way to fold a butterfly // Make a beautiful butterfly from one sheet of paper 🦋 Simple folding method

Let me share an idea for making a butterfly using accordion-folded origami.

I think this idea also pairs well with a Japanese-style wall display.

First, fold the origami paper in half to make a crease, then open it and fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center line.

Next, make a mark 5 cm in from the right edge.

Fold the corner of the paper outward so that this mark connects in a straight line with the bottom-right corner of the rectangle.

Repeat the same outward fold for the remaining three corners.

Turn the paper vertically in that state and make an accordion fold to divide it into 16 sections.

Press firmly at the center to shape a neat butterfly, and glue it so it holds its form.

Prepare two thin strips of origami paper: fold one into a V shape to make the antennae and attach it to the head area; then wrap the entire butterfly with the other strip and glue it to finish.

Butterflies made with tissue paper

Kimie Gangi spring wall decoration: super easy 'tissue paper butterfly' with templates #butterfly #easy #howto #seniors #DIY

Let me share a gentle-feeling wall decor idea using tissue paper.

First, make a butterfly template, place it on the tissue paper, and cut out butterfly shapes.

Next, wrap a piece of craft chenille stem around the center of the tissue paper and twist it, using the extra ends to create the antennae.

It’s very easy to make, so try making lots of butterflies and let them flutter over a flower field.

If you use white, they’ll look like cabbage whites; if you use yellow, they’ll resemble clouded yellows.

For the flowers, white clover, dandelions, and clover would be nice choices.

Butterfly hanging ornament

Dandelion flowers and butterflies made with yarn and paper (with audio commentary)

Hanging decorations look really cute even when you use them on part of a wall! For this idea, cut several identical butterfly shapes out of construction paper and glue two pieces together to make one butterfly.

Be sure to place a thread between them before gluing.

If you only glue the pieces together at the center and then, after it dries, spread the wings outward, the butterfly will look three-dimensional from any angle.

When decorating a wall, create a flower field on the wall and hang the butterflies from the ceiling a little away from the wall.

From the side they’ll look like hanging decorations, but from the front it will seem as if the butterflies are playing in the flower field—so you can enjoy it in two different ways.

Give it a try!

Tissue-paper butterfly

Kimie Gangi’s spring wall display: super-easy tissue-paper “butterfly” with template included

Why not try making fluffy butterflies using soft tissue paper? If you use a template, you can easily make them in bulk.

Start by creating a butterfly template with dark-colored tissue paper.

Divide the tissue paper into six equal parts and cut out the template with scissors.

Once cut, stick it onto copier paper and make copies.

Stack several sheets of butterfly tissue paper on top of the copied paper, staple around the edges, and then cut them out along with the template.

After cutting, twist a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) around the center of the butterfly paper to finish.

First, cut out the butterfly parts from the paper.

If you’re making several, it might be a good idea to create a template and cut multiple pieces at once.

Decorate the wings with flowers made using a craft punch.

After that, glue the butterfly parts together and draw the face to finish! You can either attach face parts made from construction paper or draw them with a pen.

Butterflies made with torn paper collage

Here’s how to make butterflies flying around a flower field.

Cut construction paper into the shapes of butterfly wings and a body to create the base.

If you layer two sheets of construction paper for the base, it will be sturdier.

Tear pieces of origami paper and glue them onto the wings.

Using patterned origami will make it look more festive and give it a spring-like feel.

For the body, add round stickers to distinguish it from the wings.

Draw facial expressions, and your butterfly is complete.

Tearing the origami by hand lets you enjoy differences in shapes and sizes.
