Some advice on the steps pictured above:
If made correctly the butterfly wings will suspend freely in the air. They need to open and close like real wings. Don't glue the wings to the card. Only the 'supports' are glued as shown in step 6.
Just remember to cut slots in the two halves then join them together as shown in step 4 (but don't use any glue).
Make sure your creation is dry before you "pop it".
