Butterfly Decor / Card / Paper Craft

Butterfly Decor / Card / Paper Craft

Another way for moms to bond with their kids is to do paper craft. This paper craft is all about butterfly.

Things you need:

Colored papers / constructions papers / paper stocks

Glue

Hole punch / puncher

Pencil (for sketch)

Scissors

How to do it:

Prepare 2 papers with different colors. I will use pink and green papers. Fold them in half. Keep the other paper inside of the other.

Prepare a pencil. Using the papers folded in half; draw a butterfly wing, just the half wing. Don’t remove the paper inside (green).

Cut the outline you made using your scissors. Remove the paper inside (green), we will use it later.

Using the other paper (outer layer; pink) draw another sketch of butterfly wing but only half of it. After doing so, cut it using your scissors. Don’t throw anything. Just set aside the pink butterfly wings both the small cut and the outer lining cut.

Using the (inner layer; green) other paper put some holes at the edge using punch hole or puncher. When the edges are already punched, get the smaller butterfly wing (pink) we made earlier and glue it on one side of the butterfly wing with holes.

After doing that, get the pink outer lining and glue it on the side.

Get a scratch colored paper / paper stock. Draw a body of the butterfly and you may also draw its head. Glue it on the wings.

Get some colored scrap booking wires and glue it on the butterfly. This will serve as its antenna.

You may add some glitter if you wish. Make it more fancy and colorful if you like.

Remember: Your imagination is your limit.
