It’s finally spring and the spring bugs are slowly beginning to appear. My favourite bugs and insects are by far the ladybird and the Butterfly. I find them adorable and absolutely love them.

Today I have painted a fantastic butterfly themed rock stone which I am sure you will love. It’s an easy simple craft which can be created at any age level from toddler and preschooler right through to adult. Enjoy.

How to Make a Butterfly Painted Rock Stone

To begin with you will need to sharpen your pencil and draw the outline of a butterfly onto your rock stone.

The first step will be to paint the body of the butterfly using any colour you use. I went with white and green.

I began by painting the white segments of the body.

I then painted the other segments of the butterfly body with the green posca pen.

Next I added wings.

I decided to do a line style today and drew the lines of the wings with an orange and white posca pen.

I then thickened the lines by doubling over them with my paint pens.

The next step was to add the antenna of the Butterfly using a black paint pen.

I then began to do detailing. 

Next I drew around the butterfly body segments and then around the wings.

Once the detail was complete I took a metallic blue posca pen and added detail to the body.

I added white and blue dots to the wings and little black lines onto the body.

Finally I added white eyes with black dots and a mouth.

The butterfly is now complete. Enjoy.
