Hi, guys! I've decided I want to change my boring, lilac bedroom wall.
So!
I'm making paper butterflies to cover it.
And, if you want me to make one dedicated to you, or a family member, or someone you care about, let me know. I'll be more than happy to do it!
And, if you want to make your own, here's how I made mine.
Things you'll need:
Construction Paper
Sharpie/Pencil
Scissors
Glue
Step 1:
Pick three colors. Any colors you want. I went with green for the body, purple for the wing base, and pink for the decorations on the wings, but you can mix it up!
Step 2:
Draw and then cut out the body. This is just a size reference for you. You can make it as large as you want, though!
Step 3:
Draw and cut out one wing, then place it back on the paper, trace it, and cut out the other wing. That way, they have a somewhat similar form.
Step 4:
Add your decorations. I decided to mutilate a piece of pink construction paper to make these triangles and I have to say, it looks nice!
Step 5:
Glue the body to the middle of the wings, to hold them together. If you want, you can also cut out a strip of paper that's the same color as the wings, or the body, and glue it onto the back, for extra support.
Step 6:
Add your message and/or who it's dedicated to, and you have yourself a beautiful paper butterfly!
If you make any butterflies, post them here as well~
