Crafting with Kara - Tissue Paper Butterflies

Kara is my little craft diva.  She is always digging around in my craft room, looking for supplies to make one of her designs.  We  recently came up with the idea to do an ongoing series called "Crafting with Kara".  She will share crafts for kids, made by a kid. 

The first craft she wants to share is a tissue paper butterfly.  

To make a tissue paper butterfly you need the following supplies 

tissue paper 

crepe paper

pipe cleaner 

scissors 

tape 

To make the body of the butterfly, she started  by rolling up the crepe paper 

When it was the size that she liked, she secured it with a small piece of tape 

She then drew a  heart on the folded tissue paper  

Then she carefully cut out the heart shape, leaving the folded side intact 

She opened up the heart, and it was the perfect shape for butterfly wings 

Using small pieces of tape, she secured the wings to the body 

To make the antennae, use a piece of pipe cleaner about 6 inches long, forming  a small curl on each end 

She attached the antennae to the bottom side of the butterfly, and then turned it over

She then  rolled the pipe cleaner 

on both ends 

The finished butterfly 

Maybe if she makes a few more, it will start to feel like spring! 

We are linking this craft up. See where we like to party here on my Linky Party Page
