Insert the small flaps between thelayers, thereby locking the butterflydesign on the front panel.

Separate the layers at the left-hand side and insert reversefold the side flap in between the layers, thereby locking themodel from this side, just as we did for the triangular flapsearlier. Note that the side flap should be completely placedinside the pocket. Repeat the same for the right-hand side.

This should be the result.Iron the paper flat along thehidden layers. This would bea first version of the frontpanel for our Butterfly Porte-Monnaie.
