Butterfly Wings
These butterfly wings are an easy kids craft for the summer or anytime you
are studying butterflies - and they are fun to wear, too!
You will need:
Tissue paper in various different colours
2 laminating sheets and laminator
Craft foam
Glue
Ribbon
Hole punch
Instructions:
Cut out two butterfly wings from tissue paper.
Open up the laminating sheets and lay your wings inside.
Cut shapes from the tissue paper and use to decorate the wings. Close the top
layer of the laminating sheets. Very carefully turn the wings over, trying not
to disturb the pattern you have made. Open the laminating sheets the other way
up and decorate the other sides of your wings.
Close the laminating sheets and carefully feed your sheets through the
laminator. Please note that laminators can get very hot so young children will
need an adult to do this bit.
Trim around the edge of your wings. Make sure that you do not cut right to
the edge of the tissue paper.
Arrange your wings in a butterfly shape.
Cut a large rectangle of craft foam. Punch out two holes near the top and two
at the bottom. Thread through two lengths of ribbon.
Glue the foam rectangle into the middle of the butterfly shape and leave to
dry.
Tie the ribbon around the shoulders to wear.
