Wind Up Paper Butterfly

Amazing and moving paper butterfly!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/wind-up-paper-butterfly • Posted by Juliet J.

I followed this tutorial: http://www.youaremyfave.com/2012/05/08/wind-up-paper-butterflies-are-my-fave-guest-post-from-amelia/ But I printed two butterflies instead of drawing them to make them look realistic, plus I used VERY THICK cardstock and glued the printed wings on both sides. Suggestion: use a VERY STRONG rubber bands or it will broke after a few spin. Enjoy! ps: all credits goes to the inventor, not me. Only the photos you can see here are mine. PPS: TRY AND CLOSE IT INTO A BOOK, THEN GIVE IT TO SOMEONE TO OPEN :P In the future I will make a Steampunk one..
