Fuzzy Butterfly Canvas

Step  1.

Gather your materials. You will need a canvas and paint, fuzzy sticks, poms, and wiggly eyes.

Step  2.

Bend a fuzzy stick into a teardrop shape, and secure it to itself. Then bend about halfway through and pinch together.

Step  3.

Glue together several poms, then add a wiggly eye. This will become the body of your butterfly. Did you know butterflies’ bodies are split into 3 parts: the abdomen, the thorax, and the head?

Step  4.

Glue the fuzzy stick to the pom body.

Step  5.

Twist a small section of a fuzzy stick around a pencil.

Step  6.

Cut in half to form the antenna. Glue these to the top of your butterfly’s head.

Step  7.

Paint a canvas any color you choose.

Step  8.

Glue your butterfly to the canvas by its body, so its wing is not attached but elevated a bit to make it look 3-Dimensional!

Step  9.

Repeat these steps to create more butterflies of different colors and sizes!

Step  10.

Decorate your scene! Use a sponge brush to dab white puffy clouds above your butterflies.

Step  11.

We also added a sun, and some dotted lines to show movement of the butterflies. Your butterfly canvas is complete!
