Paper Butterfly Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Toilet paper roll craft ideas are not only fun to make but they send the kids a good message about recycling. I have made plenty of toilet paper roll crafts in my blog, last year I made a 3D toilet paper roll owl people seemed to like the owl craft a lot and I was very pleased with it as well.
So let’s see how we can make this paper butterfly tissue paper roll craft. And after we are done making the craft I have some fun facts about butterflies for you. If you want to know where butterflies come from please stay tuned.

Instructions: How To Make Tissue Paper Roll Butterfly
Step 1: Paper Butterfly Cutouts
Once you have printed the templates you need to cut out your paper butterfly cutouts from the PDF templates.
Use the template cutouts to trace the paper butterfly patterns on colorful craft papers and cut them out carefully using scissors. Use a blue colorful sharpie to fill in the paper butterfly’s pupils.
Step 2: Make The Paper Wings
Glue the yellow butterfly wing cutouts (smaller wings) inside the purple butterfly wing cutouts (larger ones).
Then, glue the large red teardrop-shaped patterns on the top part of the yellow wings.
Glue the small red teardrop shapes on the bottom part of the yellow wings.
Glue the large pink dots on the large side of the teardrop shapes.
Then, glue the yellow small teardrop shapes on the thin ends of the teardrop shapes.
Step 3: Make The Base For The Butterfly
Cut out a pink craft paper according to the circumference and height of your tissue paper roll. Then, glue orange paper cut-out stripes horizontally on the pink craft paper.
Glue the eyes on the top side of the pink craft paper.
Use a black marker pen to draw a smiley face below the eyes. And, use pink marker pens to draw cheeks on the two sides of the mouth.
Step 4: Make The Antennas
Take a tissue paper roll, and glue the pink base craft paper around the tissue paper roll.
Take a pipe cleaner of a color of your choice.
Cut the pipe cleaner into 2 pieces and bend the ends to make small swirls.
Glue the swirly pipe cleaners inside the top part of the tissue paper roll and keep the swirly parts outside.
Step 5: Glue The Wings
Slightly fold the ends of the paper butterfly wings, and apply glue on the crease.
Glue the wings on two sides of the tissue paper roll to complete your paper butterfly toilet paper roll craft.
