You’ll need:
– A canvas
– Craft punch – butterfly
– PVA Glue
– Paper or card in various colours
What to do:
[dropcap]1[/dropcap]Get started punching out those butterflies! We punched brown for our tree trunk and branches and used green for the leaves.
[dropcap]2[/dropcap]Gather the butterflies in small stacks and bend the wings up by folding the stack just slightly in the middle.
[dropcap]3[/dropcap]Pour some PVA glue onto a plastic plate and dip just the middle section of the paper butterflies into the glue.
[dropcap]4[/dropcap]Arrange your butterflies on the canvas in the shape of a tree. Be sure to leave a few stragglers here and there that appear to be just joining or leaving the configuration.
*Use your imagination! Perhaps paint the canvas before starting the artwork. Try different punches and shapes … maybe hearts in the shape of a heart or stars to spell out a name!
