Butterflies made of paper: we work with our own children

Butterflies are very delicate and beautiful insects. A symbol of the coming spring and the expectation of a hot, sunny summer. You can not only have a good time with the baby, making butterflies from paper with your own hands, but also develop the baby. Origami - a very light technique, it is only necessary to stock everything necessary. Paper masterpieces can decorate decorative objects, a room, a yard.

There are many ways to make winged insects. Let's start with the simplest. You need a carved square. We bend it diagonally, then the resulting triangle is also folded in half. We unfold the resulting product with the opening sides up. A little deviating from the bend (approximately 1 cm, depending on the size of the product) bend our future wings to the sides. We glue the antennae and decorate to your liking. Very light technique, which will help the child develop motor skills of the hands.

There is an option to create a butterfly from paper with your own hands using the "accordion" technique. You need two circles of different sizes. We put an accordion out of them. We take into account: the smaller the distance between the faces, the more beautiful the product will be. The two harmonies obtained are fastened together with a wire, from the tips of which we make the antennae. Straighten the wings (considering that the smaller circle is at the bottom) and get the beauty. You can also add one square or rectangles to the accordion, in the middle, fasten it with a wire, and then follow the instructions.

You can also create a butterfly paper from paper using cardboard. Consider the wingspan, denticles, cutouts, etc. Draw only half. Following this, we add the paper from which we will cut, in half, to the bent edge we apply our stencil (middle, that is half of the trunk), we circle it lightly with a pencil and lay it aside. On the line, carefully cut out and straighten our butterfly. Do not smooth the fold too much, it will create an effect of volume. Next, the silhouette of a butterfly, made of paper, cut out by hand, can be used for its intended purpose. For example, you can give it to the child. This will help develop in the baby the feeling of a combination of colors, the logical construction of the ornament.

Such decoration can also complement the design of the house. Butterflies from paper to the wall can be made using stencils or create each butterfly individually. Such an insect can be monophonic, with a certain ornament, colorful, etc. Depending on the style of the room. They can also be disposed in a variety of ways. The simplest is the usual "feeling of a pack": like a cloud, they will be located on your wall or on the ceiling, you can also use the transition from the wall to the ceiling. Fastenings can be multivariant. One of the simplest ways is attaching to a double-sided adhesive tape, then butterflies from paper will hold well on horizontal and vertical surfaces. The downside of this method is that it will not be easy to remove the butterfly, depending on the wallpaper and what you used for fixing. Another way is to use needles or pins. For each needle we put on our insect with wings and decorate the wall. This way to attach the decoration to the chosen base, will give the effect of flight.

Creating butterflies from paper with their own hands is very easy and interesting. And most importantly, it will help develop the child's motor skills, the logic of construction, and just create a beautiful decoration.
