So let's start. first take a piece of square paper ( mine is folded diagonally but yours should be perfectly flat )
Next fold the paper in half like shown
then you unfold it and fold it again in the other direction
next turn the paper around and flip it diagonally by both sides. then you should have something looking like this
Next you take the paper and fold it like this <= sorry i can't really explain it
after doing that you should have a triangle
next you take the side corner and flip it up like shown
so fold it and flatten nicely
repeat on the other side. then the paper should look like this <=
next turn the triangle on the other direction. take the top and fold it till there is a little corner showing on top of the ... oww you'll see in the nest step lol
it should look like this <= flatten nicely
now you'll notice that your wings-to-be are not looking ... well lol don't worry about that. just flatten them a little ( it looks better that way anyway =] ) repeat with the other wing
'kay now your butterfly must be looking like that <=
now fold the butterfly in half
flatten it nicely
next unfold the butterfly and fold it again along that line <= repeat on the other side
and now you're actually done ^.^ enjoy your new butterfly and have fun with it =]
