Description

A delightful craft to create vibrant butterfly suncatchers that brighten up your home and engage your creativity.

Instructions

  1. Create Your Butterfly Templates: Draw or print butterfly outlines on paper or cardboard and cut them out to use as templates.
  2. Trace and Color: Place the butterfly template over the transparency sheets or wax paper. Trace the outline and fill in vibrant colors using colored markers or food-safe paint.

  4. Cut Out Butterflies: Carefully cut around the designs, leaving a small border if desired.
  5. Seal (optional): Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the butterfly cutouts for added durability.
  6. Punch a Hole: Use the hole punch to create a hole at the top of each butterfly for hanging.
  7. Add String: Cut a length of string or fishing line, thread it through the hole, and tie a knot.
  8. Hang and Enjoy: Find a sunny window to hang your butterfly suncatcher and watch it come alive!
