This is one of my most favorite ideas I ever came up with. I was making them for a special project I'm working on, but I might put these all over my room. They remind me of The Dragon Queen's Believix Spell "Elemental Harmony". I might post a picture of the spell soon.

Instructions

    First you need to make your origami butterfly. Find a tutorial to make an origami butterfly. There are many variations/ kinds of Origami butterflies, choose one or as many as you like. (who says you can only make just one anyway?) I do not own the picture being used, it is just an example.

    Once your origami butterfly is done, paint it with nail polish, this will stiffen your butterfly and make it super colorful

  3. Take your tack and if you can, put it under a fold in your Origami butterfly, you may need a pin to help you make the hole.

    Finally stick your butterfly on the wall, on a cork board, Heck put it where ever you want it. And admire the magical butterfly
