BEGINNER
ORIGAMI BUTTERFLIES

People often have encountered origami cranes, but how about origami butterflies? In this class, students can learn how to fold an endless variety of butterflies. We will cover the basics for success in a way that beginners and experienced folders can all enjoy. With several “species” to choose from, students have the opportunity to explore a variety of styles and learn how to create their own unique butterflies. These butterflies are both beautiful and fascinating; they are a wonderful form of art that you can use to personalize a gift, add flare and wonder to a birthday card or table setting, or simply enjoy as an exercise for your mind and hands that yields endearing and fulfilling results.
