Valentine butterfly

Let creativity take flight with this sweet and simple DIY Valentine Butterfly craft! Begin by folding a paper heart in half and pressing it to give the wings their shape. Use Bostik Art & Craft White Glue to attach a craft stick or clothes peg in the middle, then decorate the wings using stickers, glitter, or marker designs. Add small heart accents to its antennas using the same glue and let everything dry. This charming activity is perfect for kids, classrooms, or a little Valentine’s décor—quick, thoughtful, and full of fluttering fun. 🦋❤️✨
