Take one end and double it...
-
5
...pass it under...
-
6
...pass it on...
-
7
...then pass it under again.
We have knotted one wing on the left and one little wing on the right. -
8
Just do the same with the other end: double it, pass it under...
-
9
...pass it on...
-
10
...then pass it under again.
The knot is done, we have to tie it tight. -
11
We start from the beginning: pull down the two little wings to tighten the center of the knot.
-
12
The center is now tight, then we can pull the two wings on the left and on the right...
-
13
...and then...
-
14
... pull the end of the cord.
Following these steps, adjust the knot as you want. -

This is the butterfly shape, with the little wing smaller than the wings on the left and right.
-
16
This is the flower shape, with the wings of the same measure.
You can join the ends (with a knot or cutting and joining the ends with the glue) to make the fifth petal. -

The last step is to spread a drop of glue on the retro of the knot.
