Dont criticize her on her accent it's a great tutorial thumbs up if u agree

[@SHabbIZZLEx]

She's great. I love her tutorials.

[@EcoAku]

@@SHabbIZZLEx ...as well as her accent! It is very understandable for non-native English speakers, and it is soothing. The tutorial is awesome anyway.

[@PrimatePrime]

Masterful instruction. Your demonstration accompanied by excellent dialogue is the best I've seen in the subject. Thank you.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Dan Van Antwerp You are welcome. I'm glad you find it clear. Thank you for writing.

[@sobieso]

thumbs up if you had to pause fold pause fold

[@auerkontrolle6579]

So I had to stop quite often to come along at all.

[@davebates9986]

Making it for my wife for our paper anniversary. Best looking butterfly I found thanks!

[@renaissanceman4740]

+dave bates Guess what I made for my wife on our anniversary? I made her make me a sandwhich. Youre a pathetic man

[@tutifruti8627]

Muy bién explicado, queda fantastica la mariposa, le he añadido unas antenas de papel a mi gusto y casi vuela!!!!!!! Gracias Leyla...........from Catalunya (Europa).

[@ingridcamacho2150]

Muy Linda la mariposa!! Gracias por representar la Tierra querida

[@kmtelder1433]

I like your accent, and I understand you just fine. Excellent video, I am having a lot of fun!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

@Eliana Isabel la mariposa en origami de dos colores fue hecha con un papel delgado estilo "biblia" Yo misma le puse color. Puedes leer una explicación de cómo colorear papel aquí www.origamispirit.com/es/2012/04/como-colorear-papel-cebolla-para-usarlo-en-origami/

Hi Lucie, I'm glad you were able to follow this video. The language of the hands is universal!

[@caseyshaw1569]

Thank you! This tutorial was so much easier to follow than the original. My butterfly turned out beautifully! Great tutorial.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Casey Shaw Hi Casey, I'm glad you folded it successfully!

[@beav1962]

Thanks for this. I used some of your paper coloring techniques and made a beautiful red, pink, and purple butterfly. It is going into a box with 2 dozen other origami models and being sent to my son, his wife and my grandchild. She said she is going to make a mobile for over the baby's crib. Woohoo!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

beav1962 Congratulations. If you post a photo, please share with us a link.

[@leollo8558]

I never ever thought that I could fold something like this beautiful. Thank you so much!

[@xxmaybenot]

I'm incapable to do this, even though i've tried several times. I really wanted get it right. When I have to fold the wings I mess up every single time, I have no idea how you do it even when i'm looking at the video without blinking. The only one I can do is tsuru, hehe. I'm just gonna be happy about the one I can do :)

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Good attitude Danielle. Congratulations for trying. Watch it at least once without trying to fold. Just relax and observe. Perhaps in another try it will turn out well. Sometimes we need to grow our skills before we are able to make certain origami figures. You might want to try your hand at folding some of the models featured on this page: www.origamispirit.com/videos/origami-for-beginners/

[@xionmemoria5939]

Making the square after the first two diagonal folds makes this much easier. just fold the top corner of the smaller square of paper. I have never seen anyone attempt this with the base being made that late in the folding. Try that and everything will likely fall into place better

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Para la mariposa de la foto uso un papel llamado "onion skin" papel cebolla, Se parece mucho al papel "biblia" es muy delgado pero tiene bastante cuerpo y se deja plegar bien. Para la demostraci´øn uso un papel llamado "kami" que es japonés.

[@fauridysroque8487]

I love your roles pick I one to do dat

@ Annie K The wooden stick used for origami is a Bamboo Folder. It's available for sale on OrigamiSpirit [dot] com, my website.

[@kageokami5]

Thank you for the video! I always wanted to know how to fold this kind of butterfly.

[@unifly8241]

Leyla, that's great! I made two butterflies. One for me and one for my girlfriend, also made a rose to celebrate two years together. I think it's good example that money completely not related with feelings. I spent 0 euros to have wonderful gift for her.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Congratulations Laimis. We can give meaning to the simplest things and make them special! Thank you for sharing.

[@Karenkks24]

I do not speak English, but found it very beautiful and able to do their work first .... Congratulations I am Brazilian and I admired his work very Lindo demais!!!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Felicidades por lograr plegar esta mariposa!

[@katchya8]

Thankyou so much for this tutorial! Your pace and instructions were extremely helpful! I only juuuust started doing origami tonight and I'm feeling pretty impressed with myself right about now. I don't think I would have gotten such a great result if it wasn't you doing this tutorial :)

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Congratulations to you. This is not a model for a beginner and you made it!

[@NCN2069]

[@anneliewilde3775]

This second version helped me complete the butterfly. Thank you. I like your videos very much.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Annelie Wilde You are very welcome. I'm glad you found the second version!

[@MissFeraligatr]

One of the best instructions to any Origami piece I've ever found on YT! I thought it would be a lot harder but your instructions were easy to follow and the result was to the liking of the person who got it from me (and also to mine :D ). Thank you!

[@Ulcerbloom]

thank you very much for this dearest Leyla! I've made the butterfly a couple of times and it has made me very happy. It looks especially beautiful using colourful but otherwise useless junk mail flyers.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Michal Vincze I'm glad you like it Michal. Great use of recycled paper!

[@lairdfetzerhamblin_letters6601]

WONDERFUL!!! Thank you!! Excellent instruction, Leyla. Laird

[@OrigamiSpirit]

If you don't understand my accent, all you have to do is mute this video and follow my hands.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

@Diedra S Congratulations! I'm very happy that you were able to complete your origami butterfly with this updated video.

[@MayisSerrano]

me encantan tus videos, soy Colombiana y me sentí muy feliz cuando vi este video con la mariposa que tiene los colores de mi país! !!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Gracias, me alegra mucho tu nota!

[@eugeneayala4411]

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Gracias!

[@MaMeiOhana]

Love it! Almost got it the perfect the first try with some random scrap paper! Now to do it with origami paper! Thank you! I've had a frustrating day trying projects that were too hard for me! Subtitles were in English for me despite what the descriptions says. Y tambien no me importa si lo hace en ingles o espanol, los dos son buenos para mi! Gracias!

[@levuong5837]

Totally enjoyed making it! I am so glad the steps are easy to follow.

[@vladieven]

Muy bien explicado, ;), la hice , y al primer intento me quedo, gracias por tu video! :D

[@OrigamiSpirit]

[@celsopedro9211]

It's totally beautiful!! I couldn't belive that I was able to do it.You are a very good teacher! Thank You! ^^

[@EcoAku]

I saved this tutorial in a dedicated playlist almost a decade ago, and still find it awesome; plus, the model might the best visuals / difficulty I have ever seen in origami; accessible to beginners and looking like intermediate-level origami

[@vicko070]

Oh my gosh! That was kind of difficult but the result is superb! :)

[@amapola317]

hola soy de Argentina, ya me suscribí...muy buenas tus explicaciones. Gracias por compartir...la mariposa me quedo genial y es el primer origami q hago. bs

[@rexderen7970]

a veces se me resulto un poco difícil pero luego me resulto fácil! Muchas gracias por el tutorial! Saludos desde Colombia ^_^

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Gracias Rex. El origami nos enseña paciencia. Saludos!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

The paper used in the video is called "Kami" which is a thin paper from Japan. The paper used for the butterfly in the photo is colored "onion skin" paper.

[@janicejaccard9734]

que hermosa mariposa yo soy de Chile y ahora pude entender mejor la explicación :D muchas gracias por el vídeo, ahora, me suscribiré al canal :3

[@vincenzozappala8528]

Veramente bella, brava, congratulazioni.

[@dobra1629]

Beautiful job. Had I not seen this paper transformed into a mariposa before my eyes, I would not believe it could be done.

[@daviddico1]

ahora si muy bien explicado lo logre hacer...muchas gracias..!!! es de mucha ayuda

[@OrigamiSpirit]

For this origami butterfly, the step at minute 10:47 is repeated again with the other wing at minute 12:00. If this section is a challenge for you, watch it a few times before you attempt to fold. All is there Don't give up!

[@mirnasarkis3653]

it is by far the best butterfly origami i did, thank you Leyla :-)

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Hi Mirna, I'm happy you tried it and were successful. Congratulations!

[@kaytee3414]

I have been trying to make this butterfly for soo long and yours is the only video that has been so clear about the instructions! Thank you!

[@alejoerazo77]

Excelente video Leyla, me sirvió mucho para un proyecto acá en Bogotá. Nos vimos hace algunos años soy del grupo amigos Pegadores. Un abrazo.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

[@ymm424]

That was a terrific tutorial...very very clear and slow enough that I didn’t have to adjust the speed to get the steps done. I want to make a bunch of these to fly over my bulletin board at school! Wonderful. As a geometry teacher I really appreciated you mentioning that you must “bisect” the angles!

[@pelatchi1036]

Magnifique👌, et bravo👏 je trouve que c'est très courageux de faire une vidéo sur une discipline aussi compliqué et qui demande beaucoup de rigueur, de persévérance et de patience😌 mais on sent que vous êtes passionnée et surtout que vous aimez partager💚 alors MERCI 🙏 pour le partage et ces explications bien détaillées.👍☺

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Gracias Luis. Abrazos!

[@luckygamerpro8633]

Muchas gracias me ayudaste mucho ya que tenia que hacer un trabajo con este origami

[@acelxix83]

Great instructional. I had some trouble refolding the rabbit ear fold. Bringing the wing parts together was fine, and folding the triangle down (both layers of the paper) was fine too. However, when you refold the rabbit ear, I didn't realize that one angle is folded back (seen around 11:10). Once i figured out where the triangle fit down, the rest was straight forward. Thanks!

[@holaquemas1455]

alguien que habla español y le tocó ver los subtitulos? igual no me quejo, queda muy linda la mariposa y gracias por homenajear a Colombia, mi tierra querida

[@luissoria6830]

Thank you so much! I had to try three times until it became a butterfly! Que bella es Colombia

[@synnerlig]

Wow! I can't believe I made a butterfly! Thank you so much :)

[@Wilfoe]

Very detailed! Thanks for uploading this!

[@marinavargas259]

Gracias. Viva Colombia! Viva Nairo!
