Origami Butterfly Motif

A pretty way to decorate your plain lampshade

I was inspired by a beautiful home ware shop I visited while on holiday. Using patterned paper to make your origami butterflies is a great way to decorate your plain lampshade/all over your bedroom. I just used a pin to keep the butterflies stuck to my paper lampshade and blue tack to stick the butterflies to my desk. This is the video tutorial I used to create the butterflies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4L5nDDgEEk
