I have another fun Paper Bag craft to share with you today. This time we made a colorful paper bag butterfly kids craft, a perfect afternoon craft for spring time. Do-A-Dot markers makes this craft extra fun for little ones since they can easily personalize their butterfly with whatever colors they choose.
Supplies:
- white paper lunch bag
- acrylic paint (color of your choice)
- two 6-inch heart doilies
- Do-A-Dot Art Markers
- paint brush
- pipe cleaner (cut in half)
- black marker
- large googly eyes
- tape
- glue
Watch the full tutorial of us making this paper bag butterfly kids craft before you get started.
Instructions:
1. Paint paper bag
Start by painting your paper bag. Let it dry completely.
2. Decorate heart doilies
While your bag dries, use your Do-A-Dot markers to decorate your heart doilies.
3. Fold doilies and glue onto paper bag
Fold over the end of your heart doily about an inch and glue it down to make a straight edge. Glue the doilies to the front of the inside flaps on the sides of the paper bag.
4. Add eyes and draw a smile
Glue googly eyes onto your butterfly and draw a smile with your black marker.
5. Make and add antennae
Curl the pipe cleaner halves around your finger and then tape them to the back of your paper bag to make antennae.
My daughter and I had a play date with some good friends the other day and we made the butterflies with our preschoolers. Look how cute my 4 year old’s butterfly turned out.
