Origami Cloud of Butterflies Kit

Cambridge Imprint is a small paper-making business in Cambridge, England, designing and printing patterned paper. It is known for beautiful colours, joyful illustration and typography, a lively, hand-drawn aesthetic, and meticulous attention to detail.

Using simple hand-stencilled screen-printing to create original designs, Cambridge Imprint employ spot-colour lithography to replicate the studio process in manufacturing the final paper product. The result is a matte paper of unparalleled intensity and clarity of colour.

This kit contains everything you need to make 36 delicate paper butterflies: 36 sheets of 150 x 150 mm assorted Cambridge Imprint patterned paper, with a clearly illustrated booklet of instructions, all in a beautiful patterned box with coloured lining. Simple and satisfying to make, the butterflies make pretty and unusual decorations, and once constructed can be kept forever. Wired onto a branch of blossom they make a particularly beautiful and striking spring party decoration.

The butterfly is a reasonably simple origami, suitable for anyone over the age of 7 . The instruction booklet tells you everything you need to know. However, it is much easier to show rather than describe a process of this kind, so if you find you could do with some extra help you will find their demonstration video in the ‘How To’ section of their website.
