I love a little origami, and I love a little baking...makes for a happy Mom's Day tea party. Ms. Poppytalk herself popped over to my house, to help fold some butterflies and set up for the shoot. I'm definitely going to replicate this for my mom next weekend. So glad I have all these butterflies ;)

Here's a "how-to" clip of making the butterflies. It's pretty simple, and hard to stop once you start. I scanned in some pretty fabric, to make my origami paper. These butterflies were made with 10 inch squares. How-to clip recorded by Robert Edmonds.
Butterflies were simply taped onto braided ribbon and pinned to wall (left). I didn't have napkins that worked with everything, so I stitched up some scraps of raw cotton, with bright yellow thread.
I wrapped a few small pots of rosemary, origami style, as table decoration and to give away to guests apres party.

Have a good day!

beautiful! I especially like the origami butterflies
These are all great ideas! The butterflies are beautiful. I had a friend whose boyfriend made her a mini paper crane for everyday that they were together.

It's very impressive that you made your own paper.. so you scanned fabric and printed out the paper... can I ask what weight of paper you used?? I love origami and making gifts for family and friends is one of my passions....
Many thanks..
I'm having a small get together this weekend, maybe I can convince the husband (the paper origami folder lover) to make up a few butterflies as decoration! Love this idea!!
Emily - so sweet
Judy - it's regular 20lb paper
Jeannette - they are so fun to make - I'm sure your husband will love making them...
So simple and sweet. Love this!
Lots of inspiration & tons of yumminess!
I love the butterflies - and I love origami! These are so sweet!
Julia, you should give them a whirl! They're so much fun to make.
Emily, I agree with Jan. That's so sweet. What a guy!
Judy, as Jan said it's regular old paper. I can never find the sort of pattern I'm looking for, so scanning fabric works for me! I also love that you can see the texture in it as well.
Jeannette, would love to see your butterflies if you make some. You'll find you won't be able to stop!
I can't wait to make these :)
So pretty!!! I can't wait to make these as well!!! Thanks for sharing!
