How to Make a Butterfly with Fabric – DIY Fabric Butterflies

If you’ve been looking for a quick and charming sewing project, fabric butterflies are an absolute delight to make! With just two pieces of fabric, you can fold and shape them into a plain origami-style butterfly, or get creative by adding lace and a decorative charm in the center for extra flair. Once you’ve mastered the basic fold, the sky’s the limit—decorate your butterflies with sequins, beads, or pearls for sparkle, or even stitch a bit of embroidery onto the wing corners for a personalized touch.

The beauty of this craft is how versatile the finished butterflies are. Attach them to hair clips, sew them onto quilts, embellish gift packages, or scatter them across a festive table setting. To start, cut your fabric into a 5" x 3.5" (13cm x 9cm) rectangle—the width should be about 70% of the length for the best folding proportions. You can easily scale the size up or down depending on your project. Whether you’re crafting them as holiday gifts, adding them to your handmade accessories, or simply making a fluttery collection to brighten your home, these little beauties are sure to bring a smile.
