Assembling Accordion Fold Butterflies
First, fold in the four diagonal scores in so that you have a long piece of paper with pointed ends. Then accordion fold both pieces of paper. You can glue the last fold of the top to the first fold of the bottom but you don’t have to. Mine are not glued
Tie a ribbon or pipe cleaner at the center of both pieces and make it tight. Spread the wings out.
And the accordion fold butterflies are done!
Take a look at the back and you will see that the folded over paper creates a unique pattern.
I plan to make a bunch of these and make a mobile. I also want to try cutting designs in the butterflies and seeing what effect that has on them.
There are just so many possibilities!!!
