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

[@leollo8558]

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

[@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.

[@ingridcamacho2150]

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

[@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).

[@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!

[@pomdapirouge]

A lot more beautiful than the traditional model! Thanks Leyla for the great tutorial !

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.

[@sobieso]

thumbs up if you had to pause fold pause fold

[@auerkontrolle6579]

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

[@OrigamiSpirit]

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

[@billichan29]

I love your videos, Ms. Torres. You patiently explain every step. Thank you!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

You are welcome Vedha!

[@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

[@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

[@kmtelder1433]

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

[@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.

[@kageokami5]

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

[@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!

[@anneliewilde3775]

[@levuong5837]

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

[@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]

Leyla Torres make it in english

[@АнтонИльинец-м8в]

Добрый день! Я очень благодарен за Ваш блог. Все очень подробно и понятно рассказано. Вы просто молодец!!!

[@Slarti]

Thanks! This updated version really helped - I got the folds down to memory after watching the video twice so all credit goes to your tutorial :)

[@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!

[@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

[@PradeepKumar-mv2cj]

[@eugeneayala4411]

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Gracias!

[@amjadkariapper87]

one of the best videos of origami folding I have seen. Very easy to follow!!!! thank you so much madam!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+amjadkariapper87 You are welcome!

[@fornalli]

So much easier than the previous video! Loved it! Thanks a lot Leyla

[@daviddico1]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@laestherminator]

This was much easier to follow than your first video. Thank you!

[@chrysanthemum9041]

Although I do not understand the language, but the tutorial was so careful and clear, it is better than any others I have seen. Thank you,

[@luckygamerpro8633]

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

[@zahoorshah1376]

At 7:07 mine didn't turn out how it was supposed to but other than that it is a great video! :D

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Congratulations for trying. The first time I made it, it didn't turn out perfect either. It's good to try several times! :-)

[@melia9019]

this is a really good tutorial i was really happy on how mine turned out

[@OrigamiSpirit]

I'm glad you are happy! If you are happy I'm happy too!

[@viktoriaquinn2769]

These'll make great locker decorations! Going to get proper origami paper next weekend! 😄

[@RoseyPoole]

What a great teacher this woman is!

[@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!

[@celsopedro9211]

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

[@namiecat]

Thank your very useful tutorial, i finally did it. !! Making it to be a birthday gift to my girl-friend.

[@luissoria6830]

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

[@samartcraft2310]

Thank you, that is a great tutorial. Your explanations are really good and I could see ever fold just fine.

[@jessica4656]

[@mirnasarkis3653]

Muchas gracias por este Update!!!!!!

[@Wilfoe]

Very detailed! Thanks for uploading this!

[@MoogieSRO]

The wings of my butterfly ended up so much more enclosed, narrower, they did not want to spread out 'flat' like yours did. But I think I did everything right... In any case, it still turned out pretty. I love your videos, you explain everything so clearly!

[@raysiillus2361]

Que hermosa mariposa, me encanta tu canal me suscribo, que Dios te bendiga, ja nne
