cardboard to half |
Draw half of a butterfly along the fold line
and cut out |

| Unfold the paper |
To
make a butterfly, draw the head and body as shown in figure. Paint the
body black. Decorate both sides of the wings of your butterfly using
markers and glitters. With a hole punch make two holes
in the head. |

|
| Take a dark coloured
nylon thread or pipe
cleaner. Fold it and thread it through the holes in the butterfly's head as
feelers. Make another 2,3 butterflies of different sizes in this
manner. |
Punch holes on either end of
the butterfly body. String a short length of thread or craft lace from front to
back through top hole, then back through bottom hole. Tie a small jingle bell on bottom if
needed. You now have a beautiful butterfly mobile. |
Tips : If you want to make a more realistic looking butterfly trace it from book. Those who know
drawing can make butterflies of your own choice. You could also cover the
cardboard piece with coloured paper aesthetically if you prefer.
