Have you seen those flying paper butterflies that burst out of cards and boxes to surprise people?

I've always wanted to try making these- a swap is just the motivation to stop pinning tutorials and just do it! I think it would be fun to swap butterflies, though it won't be a complete surprise when you open it.

There are several tutorials out there- here is one that I recommend:
Instructables

Create a butterfly for your partner and place it into a notecard so that it flies out when opened. Construction, design, decoration is up to you - but I encourage using some of that scrap paper, wire, paperclips you may already have!

Holy crap, I’ve been wanting to make some of these. This is a perfect “excuse” to actually get some done!

I really want to learn how to make these too, but this will be a busy two weeks getting ready for my son’s 18th birthday on the 12th, so not sure if I’m ready to commit yet.

https://pin.it/4a6lXOE I think the key to making them fly is the last step in the pin above- turn the top wings... Being smashed flat in an envelope has probably made all of them less functional!
