Butterfly origami: interesting models from modules, money and fabric with diagrams and step by step video.

The sophisticated and versatile art of origami was cultivated in the East for centuries. Since ancient times, Japanese craftsmen have tried to depict the beauty created by nature, using paper. Today origami is one of the most popular forms of creativity, regardless of the age of people who own this technique. One of the models that is very popular is the butterfly origami: the scheme is designed for both beginner origami and experienced craftsmen.

Today I wanted to understand several techniques of making, perhaps, the most beautiful insect in nature - a butterfly. Wishing to convey all the refinement and uniqueness of the wings, it is best to use the video with the master class, as well as the detailed instructions that you will find below.

models Butterfly from the

modules So, to create a butterfly in the modular origami technique, we need a total of 280 triangular modules. Immediately make a reservation that the colors of the butterfly remain at your discretion.

Let me remind you how to make a module-workpiece from paper:

Let's start the creation of a butterfly from the manufacture of the upper large wing. The first row we will have 3 corners, and in the second row add 4 modules.

Starting with the third row, we begin to add by adding 8 modules:

In the ninth row, we add 9 more modules. In parallel with this, we form the drawing of the future wing:

Beginning with the 5th series, divide the wing into 2 parts. Add the first 5 modules:

We continue to work with the first part of the wing and attach 6 corners:

With each row, we increase the number of modules by 1, ie in the 7th row of 7 corners, and in 8m - 8:

In the 9th row, again 8 modules,and starting with the 10th we narrow the wing and add in each subsequent row by 1 corner less. As a result, in the 15th row we should have 2 modules:

Now we return to the 5th row and add 5 corners to the second part of the wing:

In the next three rows we also attach 5 corners:

Starting from the 9th row we narrow the wing part, adding 4module:

Thus, due to the decrease in the 12th row, we must have 1 corner:

. In the same scheme, we assemble the second butterfly wing.

Now go to the butterfly body assembly. We start with 2 modules nested inside each other. In the 3rd row we add 2 more corners, and in 4m - again 1.

We continue the alternation of rows from the 2 nd and 1 nd modules 3 more times. In the 11th row, add 1 corner again, and in 12m - 2. After that, we finish the tail 3 with the corners inserted into each other. To fix the wings in the middle of the body of the corpse, add 1 corner at each side:

We adorn the butterfly with the antennae of the wire:

The detailed process of assembling a similar butterfly can look at the video:

Butterfly from the money

In addition to the butterfly from the modules, the butterfly from the money will look very impressive.

Repeat this model is not difficult. Watch the video and try it yourself:

Butterfly-bookmark

Still, all the above options are suitable for decoration or as a gift. But there is an option to make a butterfly, which you can carry with you. The butterfly bookmark will become a very original way to not lose the necessary page of the book.

This origami bookmark can be made according to the scheme:

Butterfly made of

This variant of Butterfly origami is a little more complicated than its predecessors, but just imagine how pleasant it will be to open a book every time and admire this bizarre bookmark.

The most original kind of origami, in my opinion, is the figure of a butterfly made of cloth.

For work we need in advance sewn together scraps of rectangular cloth and several tailor's pins.

The layout of this butterfly is very simple and only takes a few minutes. Try to repeat this beauty:

Such a butterfly can be an addition to a hair clip or a ring for napkins. In other words, the application of this butterfly from paper is not limited. It is only necessary to show imagination:
