Some advice on the steps pictured above:

1. You are about to make your own elegant butterfly pop-up.
   Carefully cut out the card, and cut out each half of the butterfly.
   
2. Cut slots as shown in the picture. The slots should be as thick as the paper you are using. Fold the supports along the dotted lines so they have 'feet' that you will stick to the card later.
   
3. Fit the two butterfly halves together. Wings at the top with the supports underneath.
   DO NOT use glue :-)
4. This is your butterfly shape. The wings should move freely. 
5. Fold the card base along the dotted lines, then open it up again.
6. NOW you can glue. Stick the two supports to the card exactly as marked. Only use a few drops of glue.
   DON'T put any glue on the wings - just the supports.
   Now let the glue dry.
   
7. That's it groover. Nice huh?
8. Congratulations. You're ready to POP!
