We make paper butterfly

How to make a butterfly from paper with your own hands? Do you have any unnecessary magazines or old colored paper? Are you ready to spend a few minutes of your time? Then we begin.

In our work we will use:

• a sheet of colored paper or an old journal page
• scissors
• wire

Operating procedure:

Before you is a rectangular sheet. You need to make it square. To do this, add it as shown in the picture and cut off the excess. The cut off part is not removed far, because we will need it.

In the second step, add the opposite corners of the square so that the triangle is formed.

Now we need to fold the triangle with an accordion. We will try to do as many additions as possible, so our butterfly will be more elegant.

We unfold the sheet. Wire the center. A pair of large butterfly wings is ready.

Now, from the previously cut portion of the leaf, make small wings.

To do this, we repeat all the steps described earlier: cut out the square, turn off the triangle from it, add the accordion, straighten the wings and fix it in the center.

The next step is to connect the large and small wings with wire. From it we make the body of our butterfly. If it does not turn out to be volumetric - we wrap a small piece of paper or cloth inside.

The last step is the antennae and our butterfly is ready!

Когда бабочка высохнет она очень просто отделится от поверхности fileа.

Butterfly made of nylon pantyhose

If you have a white nylon tights at home, you can make a very beautiful and very simple butterfly in them. Such, butterflies on the wall, made by own hands, can become and pick up for curtains. The main thing is that they will become an unusual detail of the interior of the room.

What you need:

• Pantyhose (better if white, look good black, but it's hard to work with pantyhose tights)
• thread (самые обычные швейные thread в цвет колготок)
• needle
• wire (thick enough to hold the shape)
• the wire is thin (for attaching parts to each other)
• beads and buttons (for decoration)
• Double-sided tape
• good mood

Operating procedure:

First cut or bite off 2 pieces of wire: one becomes a contour for the wings, and the second - a body. The length of the pieces depends on the desired size of the butterfly's wings. Therefore, there are no recommendations here.

Bend the wire outline of the wings.

Take the second piece, make a loop in the middle, drop the rest down. Taurus is almost ready.

Cut out two circles with a diameter slightly larger than the wing of our butterfly.

Fit half the wings (large and small wing on one side) with a nylon and pull everything in the middle, where there will be a trunk. Do the same with the second side of the butterfly.

Now connect the body and wings together, fix the connection points with a thin wire.

Thread the mulina or a thin wire around the body. To make it it is necessary as though "sewing" wings to a calf.

On the back, glue a piece of double-sided tape to attach your butterfly to the wall or any other surface.

Now it's time to decorate the butterfly's wings: sew beads or small buttons, glue sparkles or small flowers from the fabric. Make your butterfly the most beautiful!
