Easy Toilet Paper Roll Butterfly Craft
Materials required to make your toilet paper roll butterfly:
Red cardstock paper (or you could paint the roll with red paint)
A pair of scissors
A square cardboard piece, as big as the heart-shaped doily or bigger.
1. Glue the red paper to the toilet paper roll
2. Fold the ends of the paper into the openings on either side of the roll.
3. Glue two heart-shaped paper doilies on the roll, to form the butterfly’s wings.
4. Now stick two wiggly eyes on the other side and with a pen or marker draw a smile on your butterfly, if you would like.
5. Fold one green chenille stem in half and hot glue the folded point on the stem.
Stick this inside the top opening of the roll
6. Hot glue a red pom-pom on either end of the stem to complete the butterfly’s antenna.
7. Stick a red heart-shaped doily onto the extra cardboard square
and cut around the shape of the heart.
8. Finally, hot glue the bottom of the roll to the heart doily on the cardboard, to form the base of the Valentine pen stand.
There you have it, an easy and incredibly sweet toilet paper roll butterfly craft and Valentine pen stand your child can make for your home or teacher.
