 I learned this origami just a month ago and i really loved making it.. Most of the ribbon/bows and butterflies i made are used by putting it in a card which we send to all the Teachers of my kids.. It can also put it in our Christmas tree.. You can also create decors,birds, animals, flower etc.. Just watch DIY Origami in YouTube..
