Things required to  make colorful attractive butterflies are:

·       Colored papers.

·       Scissor.

·       Ribbon or any thread.

·       Scale

How to make paper butterflies:

You need a piece of paper which will then cut into half. You can take the paper of different sizes, it really doesn’t matter. The one I have is 12*18 centimeter square.

Now just fold it in half so that you can find the central line. Then open it up again and cut along the middle.

Now take one paper and fold in half again to find the central part.

To shape the ends you can either cut or you can just fold the ends over as shown in the image below.

If you fold it u can get a nice pattern at the back so i am just folding it over from both the ends. You could cut it if you prefer but I think folding it is quite nice.

Now we just have to fold one piece up to about half a centimeter width. Keep it straight as you can. It’s doesn’t have to be half a centimeter, it is just an approximation.

Now u can fold it down again.

Repeat the same process for the remaining piece of paper to have the wavy effect at the end.

Mine isn’t super neat but it still looks cute.

There we go. Now fold it in half. Now you have your top half portion of the butterfly.

Now take another half of the paper that u had cut before. And fold it in a same way but vertically as shown in the image below.

After that you need to fold it in half. You are ready with the bottom portion of the butterfly.

Now connect the two pieces. You can add a little bit of glue to connect both the pieces. But I am going to use a ribbon or thread just to give it a colorful touch. Tie a knot to connect both the pieces

Now stretch the sides of the paper from both ends. And you are ready with your very own super cute and easy paper butterfly.

You can use it anywhere. You can paste it on the walls, on greeting cards. This is super easy and frugal decor item that kids can make.

I hope you enjoyed making these butterflies. See you guys soon. Keep crafting.
