ANOTHER UNIQUE BUTTERFLY CRAFT IDEA FROM US —> Handprint Butterfly Keepsake

Craft Supplies:

Latex Balloons {any color – one per butterfly card}
Large Glue Dots/Tape
Colored Cardstock Paper
Small Wiggle Eyes {two per butterfly card}
Basic Craft Scissors
Colored Markers
Scrapbook Stickers
optional materials – glitter glue, rhinestones, stickers etc.

You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!

Directions:

First fold a single sheet of cardstock in half to create a card.
Repeat for each butterfly card you want to make today.
Next grab your balloon {one per butterfly wings card} and use glue dots to secure it to the front of the card. This will create the body of the balloon butterfly {if glue dots don’t work – use tape or foam adhesive instead.} You will want the larger part of the balloon to be facing up, to be the head of the butterfly, while the longer part is the body.
Once the balloon is secure to the card front, go ahead and grab your remaining cardstock.
Cut out heart shaped pieces to be the wings of the butterfly.
To finish off the Balloon Butterfly Cards, glue your cardstock elements to the card front.
Then draw on antennas with your markers and glue on wiggle eyes to the balloon. If you like, add stickers or glitter to the wings for a fun look.
Now add other embellishments you see fit before gifting away proudly!!!
