Japanese paper isn't as rigid as normal paper. Be careful when working with it. SOUNDTRACK IN VIDEO: I was playing the Mario Tennis Aces demo on my Switch before I started writing this, and that put Mario music on my mind. I decided to pull from some childhood favorites and went for the Battle Mode music from Mario Kart DS. I played the absolute shit of Mario Kart DS with my good friends back in the day, and listening to this track brings back some fantastic Balloon Battle memories. COLOR CHOICE: I was digging through paper for shit to use for future butterflies, and I found this barely-used pack of blue Japanese paper from many years ago. I knew I had to try and make something with it. DIFFICULTY: This is another one that's incredibly easy. For one, you perform only the most basic of folds to put it together. For another, you don't even have to use square paper to make it; your garden variety rectangular paper will do just fine. INSTRUCTION SOURCE: The butterfly is attributed to one Lerlin Woodrow. According to the diagram, they're a primary school (I assume this is the equivalent to elementary) teacher in London. Wonder how they're doing right now. I found the instructions here. OTHER THINGS: The diagram insists that you use A5 paper or smaller. Don't let this discourage you; A4 paper will do just fine, as the width to height ratio of the A series of paper is constant (1 : √2). You don't even have to use paper that conforms to that aspect ratio. Using letter-size paper or even typical origami square paper to make this butterfly can result in some nifty-looking variations.
