Paper Butterfly Suncatcher

Catch the sun’s rays with colorful butterflies! This is a fun paper craft project for children and a beautiful way to decorate the windows in the summer. By changing the colors or types of the papers used and by changing the size of the butterflies, kids can create a whole window full of these. This makes a great group project. These butterflies have a delicate look to them. Another alternative would to be to craft many smaller butterflies and then creating a mobile using them. It would almost seem like real dainty butterflies flying.

For this project you will need:

- butterfly template
- cardboard for permanent template
- green construction paper
- fiber paper or transparent paper in green, yellow or white (or colors of your choice)
- pencil
- paper clips
- craft knife
- stick glue
- scissors
