Paper butterflies for spring decoration - handicrafts with children day 4

Hi everyone,

last time we made a window decoration for Easter together (here. go to the blog post). Today I want to show you how to fold these great paper butterflies (see instruction video below):

You can use the butterflies to decorate a spring bush, for example. Just collect a few fallen branches in the forest, put them in a vase and decorate them with butterflies, flowers and leaves made of paper. A beautiful spring bouquet is ready! The handicrafts are a lot of fun and you can enjoy this self-made spring decoration for a long time. How to make the paper flowers and leaves, I'll show you in the next episode of Suzu's crafting lesson.

For this simple DIY craft idea, we only need a few minutes and a few materials that you will have safely at home. In the video below I will explain step by step how to make the paper butterflies. Here we go! 

For crafting you need:

• Leaflets*, Origami Paper* or a simple one Notizblock*
• paper glue* or Craft Glue*
• A Hobby scissors*
• A clothespin (optional)
• A toothpick (optional)
• And hot glue* to stick to the branches

To all children: It's easy to get burned on hot glue. Please let your parents glue the butterflies or tie them to a string and hang them on the branches as a pendant.
