Micaela's Craft Blog Frist Ever GIVEAWAY!!!!!

Hi Crafters,

Yes, that's right, Micaela's Craft Blog is having it's first ever giveaway! What am I giving away...

A pair of hand-made earrings by me, Micaela!

I have been making earrings all day long and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to have a giveaway... there was no good reason I could think of to have a giveaway other than the fact that I had made so many earrings and I didn't know what to do with them all... but why should that stop me, I'll have a giveaway for no reason! :)

Here are some pictures of just a few of the earrings I have made today...

and these are the lovely pair I am giving away...

Tutorial: Origami Butterfly

Ok, so I know this is not a tutorial on an origami bunny like I said I would be doing, but this is a tutorial on an origami butterfly (Yea, I know it's not the same)... :)

My origami bunny is still in the process of being edited... I do still intend on posting it, but I came across a picture of an origami butterfly on Pintrest and I just had to make one, and then one turned into three and three turned into eight and then I thought, "I should do a tutorial!" So, here is my tutorial on how to make an origami butterfly, haahaa. I hope you enjoy!

(And I promise the origami bunny tutorial is coming soon!)    :)

A small square piece of scrapbook paper

or

A piece of origami paper

Time: three to five minutes

Start with the color side up

Fold in half both ways, then

unfold and turn around

Fold diagonally both ways, then unfold

 

Collapse the edges of the middle crease to the bottom middle crease, like the picture above. You should have something that looks like this:

Take the tips of the upper layer only and fold

to the point...

Flip your paper over and fold top corner past edge.

Fold the "little triangular flap" that is over the edge, down over the center line

Tip:

Do not flatten the bottom of the triangles sides, only fold down the "little triangle flap" that is over the center line...

Fold your paper in half like the picture below...

And that's it... I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

If you have any questions or comments let me know in the comments box, thanks! :)
