This master class is designed for children 7-8 years old with the help of parents and educators. The work will be of interest to everyone who likes to make crafts with their own hands and bring joy to the arrangement of their interior.

Required material for production: - A cylindrical can of chips; — Self-adhesive paper in three colors - blue, yellow, pink; — Sheets of cardboard - 2 pieces; — Decorative paper ribbon of golden color; — Hot glue gun; — Wooden skewers - 4 pieces; — Glass pebbles - 2 pieces; — Floral wire - 2 pieces; — Eyes - 1 pair; — Marker; - Scissors; - Shiloh.

Templates:

Step-by-step process for making a craft: 1. Take a landscape sheet of paper, a marker and draw a butterfly wing. The shape may vary. Since the wing is symmetrical, we will use 1 template.

2.Cut carefully along the contour with scissors - the template is ready.

3. We take cardboard - it can be white, it can be plain, I had a folder from cardboard. We trace both wings according to the template on cardboard and cut them out.

4.Unfold the blue self-adhesive paper, partially curl the paper and place both wings of the butterfly on the adhesive surface.

5. Cut out both wings; on one side they are already covered with blue paper.

6. We do the same operation with the back side of the wings and cut it out with scissors.

7. It turned out to be two wings glued on both sides of the wing with blue self-adhesive paper.

8.Now we need to paste over the cylinder; to paste it over we will need yellow self-adhesive paper. Let’s unfold it and mark on it which piece we will need for gluing the jar. Cut the marked sheet. Remove the lid from the jar. Remove the paper from the self-adhesive and, smoothing the paper, evenly cover the jar.

9.Now you're done. We put on the lid.

10.Measure one piece of tape, cut the required number of tapes along its length and glue it around the cylinder at the same distance from each other.

11. We take skewers, measure what length is needed, cut it with scissors (in general, it’s better to prepare it in advance if we use an already prepared paper template; a knife with teeth can easily be cut). Glue it evenly and on the edge, two on one side, two on the the other so that you can then glue both sticks to the jar along the edges. Ready.

12. Now we spread glue along the edge of the wing, or vertically along the jar, apply it and press it against the jar for one minute. The glue quickly sets materials.

13. Remove the lid and pierce two holes in it with an awl, insert the floral wire and twist it into a spiral at the end. Glue the twisted wire to the bottom of the lid with glue, hold for a minute and it’s done. Now we take two pebbles - these will be antennae and drip glue into the middle of the pebble, put a wire in the glue, hold it for a minute. You can now put the lid on the jar.

14. Take a larger circle template - we will use it to decorate the wings of the butterfly. We outline them on yellow self-adhesive paper and cut them out with scissors.

15. Turn the right wing and start gluing the circles. We glue it in such a way that there is an even distance from the edge at the bottom of the wing and at the top too. Glue two circles. We do the same with the left wing.

16. Take a smaller circle template - we will also use them to make a decoration for the butterfly wings. We outline them on pink self-adhesive paper and cut them out with scissors.

17. Turn the right wing and start gluing the pink circles inside the yellow ones. Glue it in such a way that the lower pink circle is pulled to the bottom of the wing, and the upper circle is pulled to the top of the wing. Glue two circles. We do the same with the left wing.

18.Glue the eyes to the butterfly and use pink paper sponges. They can be seen in the next photo.

19.The interior decoration is ready!

How to make outline butterflies from paper

Let's start with the simplest, but most effective - contour butterflies. You will need colored paper or magazine pages, outline maps, etc. You can use old postcards or colored cardboard. You will also need regular cardboard to cut out the template.

These are contour butterflies for decoration - they are easy to make and look great

Preparing the template

We take a piece of cardboard - any kind, you can even use some kind of packaging (tea, breakfast cereals, cereals, etc.) the main thing is that the cardboard is dense and not porous. Find a butterfly silhouette that you like, transfer it to cardboard and cut it out. There are several silhouettes in the photo gallery. They can be printed, then cut out and transferred to cardboard.

Moth on the wall - it would be nice in color

If you are good with scissors, you can try this outline

The more bends, the more difficult it is to cut

Swallowtail is attractive with its “tail”, but the paper consumption is greater and the work requires more accuracy

This one looks more like a night moth, but it looks good too

You can draw decorative butterflies yourself, you can find an image in any book

Paper butterfly templates for interior decoration are made in half. The second is obtained “automatically” after unfolding a piece of paper folded in half

Another version of the swallowtail for cutting out of paper

Some tips for working with templates. Many butterfly contours are given with two wings, but it is better to cut off one wing - you will definitely get it symmetrically.

Decorations made from winged insects of different sizes look good. Therefore, the same contour can be enlarged or reduced using the simplest functions of graphic editors - the same Paint, which is available on any computer. Since in this case only the outline is important, the quality of the drawing is not so important, so feel free to experiment with sizes. We cut out the printed template, apply it to cardboard and trace it. We cut it out and get a hard working template with which you can make dozens of identical elements.

Cut and attach

How to make an outline butterfly from paper

Take a sheet of paper, fold it in half, attach a template, and trace it. Cut along the drawn line. Next, we bend the wings away from the “body” and get a workpiece. Having cut out a certain number of butterflies, we attach them to the chosen place - on the wall, a piece of cardboard, etc.

You can attach it with regular glue (PVA is usually the best option), or small strips of double-sided glue. You can use wallpaper glue, etc. If you are in doubt about the result, stock up on sewing pins. They can be mounted on the wall several times without much risk of damaging the surface. When you have placed all the butterflies and you are satisfied with the result, you can glue or use tape.

Origami butterfly

A beautiful butterfly craft in origami style can be simply folded from paper. To do this, you will need a square sheet of paper (you can use regular or special origami paper).

Manufacturing stages:

• Then the sheet of paper should be turned clockwise and folded diagonally again.
• The workpiece must be unrolled again.
• As a result, the square paper should have creases diagonally from one side to the other.
• The top of the paper should be lowered to the bottom, aligning the corners evenly.
• The workpiece should be unfolded again, and, turning the sheet of paper, do the same actions.
• The flat edges of the workpiece should be inserted into the middle.
• Use scissors to twist the two bottom corners.
• The top rounded corners should be folded towards the middle.
• The craft should be turned upside down, and then the lower triangle should be bent back. The result should be a small triangle at the top of the butterfly.
• The butterfly's wings need to be folded together.
