These simple butterflies were designed by Fatima Granadeiro, a Portuguese origamist.

All kinds of paper works for this model. Smaller sized squares are better. 2-4 inches squares work well. Paper in contrasting colours on both sides would result in a butterfly with one colour for the wings and another for the head.
