Simple Butterfly Craft.
I love a simple craft, particularly one using paper. I've been making these origami butterflies every summer now for years and they're still a favourite. They're a great way to decorate your home in the summer.
They're an easy craft to get the kids involved with. Even if they need a bit of help with the folding, they'll love decorating all the butterfly wings.
I've tried to include a butterfly craft for all difficulty levels. Accordion style folded tissue paper and pipe cleaners for the pre-schoolers, pretty crepe paper butterflies for the teenagers and layered templates for the grown-ups.
If you want something simple, make sure to check out the projects that give you a free template. There are some clever 3D designs, and even a couple you can make using a Cricut for the more confident paper crafter.
Cute Paper Butterfly Craft.
You can keep these paper butterflies for yourself or give them as gifts to friends or loved ones. Personally, I think they look fantastic stuck to some wire and displayed in a bunch of flowers. Or even better, how about a bunch of paper flowers like these?
There are some gorgeous cupcake toppers (the perfect DIY party project) or colourful framed butterfly wall art that would make a lovely housewarming present. There are practical bookmarks or pretty push pins or giant glasswing butterflies you can use to decorate the walls.
You should be able to find all the materials and tools needed for these projects in your local craft store. Make them in different colors, add beads and sequins, googly eyes for a kaleidoscope of beautiful paper butterflies.
