Let’s Make This Cute Butterfly Craft
Print and cut out the patterns from the template.
Place the cut-out patterns on the selected coloured craft papers and trace around the sides. Use scissors to cut out the traced patterns nicely.
The template includes – 1 body pattern with wings, 2 small strips (antenna), 1 oval pattern (to create the smiley face of the butterfly), 2 teardrop patterns and 2 circle patterns for wing decoration.
You can create your own patterns for decorating the wings or simply print, cut out and use the template given with the tutorial.
Attach the two teardrop patterns on the top side of the wings and the two circle patterns on the bottom side of the wings.
Take the oval pattern and draw the smiley face using black gel pen.
Use pink sharpie to create two blush patterns on both cheeks of the butterfly smiley face.
You can add more or less details as you wish.
Attach the smiley oval pattern right on the middle of the wing pattern.
Finally, attach the two small strips (these will be the antennas) at the back side of the top end of the smiley oval pattern.
Mix and match different coloured papers and draw different smiley faces for variation.
Enjoy! You may want to get creative and add these to a card as a gift idea or make a spring garden scene.
