- Using a butterfly punch, punch out butterflies from the chiyogami origami paper. Various colors and designs can be punched, depending on desired pattern or style.
- Arrange chiyogami butterflies on cardstock covered backing according to desired look (if your shadow box has a frame, place on top of backing to ensure butterflies are not placed too close to the edge).

- To ensure a crisp fold that won’t fall flat, run the bone folder along the edge of each fold.
- Place a small amount of glue on the back of the chiyogami butterfly.
- Place the butterfly back onto the cardstock backing.
- Repeat with each chiyogami origami butterfly until all are adhered.
