Selecting Paper for an Origami Butterfly

Next I'm going to show you how to build a butterfly out of paper. What we are going to need we are going to need a 2x1 sheet of paper. Now as you can see here I have a full square this is a 1x1 this is equaled all the way around. So we want half of this would actually make us a good 2x1 square. So if we look down what we are going to do we are going to create this we are going to fold the corners here. Make sure they touch and they are even. There we go and kind of crease this really really well. Open it and crease it. Now your paper should just tear right off like so. There you go this is our 2x1 sheet right here cause if we fold it over we would get 2 equal squares.
