[@Slarti]

I find your channel and Jo Nakashima's channel to be the best origami instruction channels on youtube. The pace of instruction is just right, it is slow enough so that we can see everything and the camera angle is perfect. Thank you for making this all free and enabling others to have free instruction in what is a beautiful art form. As someone who develops open source software I think in this age of big corporations and money that this sharing of knowledge, for free, is one of the most generous things one can do.

[@chachhi2011]

Tadashi Mori beats Jo Nakashima

[@jaspersiron1041]

Jeremy Shafer has good videos too

[@JacksonsOrigami]

Helpful pointers for me as I ge my channel up and running to share Origami mask folding with the world. And yes, open source is the future, totally agree with you on this.

[@cheyygu]

MINE SURPRISINGLY TURNED OUT PERFECT...and I'm a beginner...I'm very proud...thank you sooo much!!!

[@JohnLeoBautista]

Took me about 20 times just to figure out that very crucial fold to make up for the lower wings. The frustration was worth it. Keep it going!

[@beav1962]

That was a good tutorial. You have a very pleasant voice. Also, I appreciate you going over the size and type of paper you will be using.

[@maryannramos9196]

wow thank you for the help Ms.Leyla! I just wanted to surprise my 9 yr old daughter for her birthday tomorrow with these pretty butterflies as decoration! You are such talented.. thank you!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Mayan Martinez You are welcome. Tha most important thing is that you can make these models too :-)

[@MangaSox]

I cant keep up with your hand movments even when ui pause the video, I have no idea what you are doing or how you get to a certain point no matter how many times I watch

Space Viking Ninja this is pretty blurry

[@Meikkun]

Thank you for this. I know that there's an updated version but I found out after I finished the butterfly I made; I made it for my mother and she loved it!

[@DaarkDestiny]

Thank you so much for sharing. I thought this video was absolutely wonderful, and my butterfly looked almost exactly like yours so I consider this a success. Listening to your voice really helped because your accent is lovely :)

[@justacarat2638]

This is such a great video! Lately, I have been watching this video every night before sleeping because I find origami very calming, and I've actually memorized almost all the folds and managed to make this butterly by memory until it's upper wings - after that I had to rewatch this video again, but still managed to do it until the end in a right way by following the instructions :) thank you for this wonderful video! the butterfly is really pretty and I also really like how your voice is so calm!😊

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Thank you Kim. You can also try this updated and improved video for the sam butterfly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Kufp-rnamJmKc

[@sreenivasaseshadri5972]

can you make more easy craft because I am a kid I can't do tuff origami so can you make origami which is easy to do for little kids like me

[@stephaniemartinez2426]

Gracias Noriel. También hay un video actualizado, mejorado y con subtítulos en español para esta mariposa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Kufp-rnamJmKc

[@Extan]

That clock in the background and your voice make me sooo relaxed :O

[@mattcarlson2604]

Wow.. im watching in 2017. Jeez I needed something to fold and this turned out to be challenging, yet very fun. I really enjoyed this video Thank you!!!!

[@mariapaularomero868]

i couldnt understand the last part. when folding the lower wings... can someone help???

[@franzism.7140]

Yes, I can help you. In order to help you I need to know what exactly you have issues with. You mentioned it is after folding the lower wings. Is it all what follows the minute 6:26. If it is all after that section please tell me what is that you are not getting. The reason I ask is because I will take pictures and show to you how it is made. This will make it easier for you to get it. Tell me what minute and second you need more clarification. I will make another butterfly and show exactly the part you need to see.

[@hmmm2484]

hi Leyla~I'm from Malaysia~ After I watch this video for over 10 times, finally, I make this beautiful butterfly!! Its very nice can I make a video to teach this butterfly in Chinese?Cuz there's someone can't actually understand English. If can, please tell me~thanks~❤

[@OrigamiSpirit]

There is a newer version of this video. Please look for the link in the description box under the video ;-) It is slower and more clear. You can understand it without the sound. No language necessary. See it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Kufp-rnamJmKc I cannot grant permission to make a video of this because I am not the designer. Permission was given to me to make it.

[@Brookfan111]

You have one of the best origami tutorials! :D

[@latharna67]

Fantastic, but very hard to do. I think my paper is too thick; I'm using craft paper. I'll give it another go when I get origami paper. Thanks.

[@ireneromanchuk5618]

Leila este espectacular video me da tanta emocion por su estilismo y aparente sencilles que me cuesta pensar que solo con cuadrados y triangulos se haga poesia en forma de mariposas.
