Tissue paper butterfly – DIY craft ideas for kids

May 28, 2013 by Gosia

By Gosia

When I was looking for activities and crafts suitable for my daughter’s butterfly birthday party, I came across this cute tissue paper butterfly craft. When I showed it to my daughter, she said she would really love to make one like that. When I went to buy all the craft supplies, I found nice colorful clothes pins with a little magnet inside. I thought they were just perfect, as they could not only hold the butterfly wings together, but also be used to place the butterfly on the fridge, making a nice decoration! We also added a ribbon, so the butterfly could be hanged out somewhere or used as a necklace :) Yes, kids have great imagination! So our butterfly craft can stand, fly and shine on the fridge!
