Butterfly craft
Let your creativity take flight with this cheerful DIY Paper Butterfly🦋 craft! Start by cutting petals or leaf shapes out of cardstock to form the wings. Position and gluing them at an angle onto another small cardstock piece using Bostik Glue Stick to bring the wings to life. Color the wings with pastels, chalks, or wax to add soft, vivid patterns. Finish by bending a paper strip into a spiral to serve as the butterfly's body, and glue it between the wings for a whimsical touch. Bright, simple, and endlessly charming, this butterfly is a beautiful project for all ages, bringing handmade décor to life! ✨
