How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
To make a butterfly, you will need:
- a sheet of white paper (A4 - 120 g/m²)
- solid gouache sticks
- a wooden base with a rod
- glitter mosaic stickers
- large-hole beads
- a caterpillar
- a wooden face bead
- a hole punch
- a cutting mat
- a pair of scissors
Step 1
"Doodle" on the sheet of white paper using solid poster paint sticks.
This colored sheet will be used to create the wings of the butterfly.
Step 2
Cut the sheet widthwise into 2 parts (with one part slightly larger than the other).
Step 3
Fold the 2 pieces of paper in an accordion shape as shown in the photo.
Step 4
Fold the accordion in half to mark the center crease.
Using a hole punch (use the Ø 4 mm head), make a hole in the center of each paper accordion.
Tip: protect your work surface with a cutting mat.
Step 5
Cover the 4 side faces of the wooden base with adhesive glittered mosaics.
Step 6
Push the rod into the hole in the base, then slide 6 to 7 colored beads onto the rod.
Step 7
Thread the 2 paper accordions onto the wooden stick (the smaller one placed at the bottom).
Step 8
Place a wooden "face" bead on the stem and then cut the stem just above the bead using a pair of scissors.
Step 9
Cut 2 pieces of pipe cleaners about 6 cm long and slide them into the hole of the wooden bead.
Bend the ends to create the butterfly's antennas.
