Base waterbomb
Text A cute little butterfly from the waterbomb base. Is it possible ?

1. Use a square sheet of paper to produce a waterbomb base. Hold it with the closed tip down.

2. Locate the middle of the top edge by bringing the top right corner over the top left corner and lightly pinching the midpoint.

3. Create a valley fold by bringing the lower point upwards from the bottom to the point you have just identified. Strongly mark the fold.
We have a horizontal trapezoid having a lower edge smaller than the upper edge. The bottom of the trapezoid is formed by two flared points, while the top is formed by two sharp points.

4. Make an oblique valley fold, through all layers, from bottom to top, taking the lower left corner and bringing it to the surface of the trapezoid. Mark well. Unfold.
There is no reference point, the final shape of the wings depends on the slope of the fold. We can use a fold joining the middle of the left side of the trapezoid and the quarter of the lower edge.

5. Fold the lower left corner of the first layer of paper only inside the fold using the fold made in the previous step.
We start the operation again on the right part.

6. Make an oblique valley fold, through all layers, from bottom to top, taking the lower right corner and bringing it to the surface of the trapezoid. Mark well. Unfold.
The difficulty is to make a fold that is symmetrical to the previous fold to obtain identical wings. One way to do this is to fold the model in half on the middle vertical fold to use the first fold as a reference.

7. Fold the lower right corner of the first layer of paper only inside the fold using the fold made in the previous step.
We are going to create the rear wings.

8. Bring it as low as possible by a valley fold from top to bottom, resting on the left edge of the overthickness point, the upper left vertex of the left front flap.

9. Bring as low as possible by a valley fold from top to bottom, leaning on the right edge of the extra thickness point, the upper right vertex of the right front flap.

10. Fold the model in half with a mountain fold along the central vertical axis.

11. Hold the fold horizontally so that the wings are pointing to the left, the largest at the top.

12. Bring the assembly of the two upper wings vertically by a valley fold from left to right, parallel to the right vertical edge, at a slight distance from it.

13. Flip the fold from right to left.

14. Bring the assembly of the two right wings vertically by a valley fold from right to left, parallel to the left vertical edge, at a slight distance from it.
We have just formed the body of the [butterfly 2]. All you have to do is work the wings well to complete the installation. This model supports the use of exotic and very colorful papers well.
