Butterfly Wings

Nothing to do with all the paper bags at home? Well, aside from reusing them, you can also take one and turn it into a creative craft project with your kiddo. Since we have a girl, Jane turned it into butterfly wings. You can even make various projects following the same idea that I will share today.

Materials:
A big paper bag with cord carriers/handles
Scissors
Glue or double-adhesive tape
Masking tape
Craft paints
Pencil
Paint brush


Instructions:
1. Remove the cord carriers/handles. Cut away the sides and the bottom portion of the paper bag. (We will be using the two large sides and the cord.)
2. Join the two large sides together with a masking tape and cover the entire surface with sketch paper.
3. Draw the outline of one wing on one side and cut both pieces together.

4. Sketch the design and paint.
5. Let it dry and attach the cord.


Then, fly and reach for the stars (so to speak)!
