supplies needed for heart butterflies:
- Watercolors + paintbrush (for this particular craft I like using tube paints instead of palettes)
- Watercolor paper
- Paper roll
- Bowl with water
- Pom-poms (pinks, reds)
- Liquid school glue
- Pink marker
- Paper plate
instructions:
- Start by adding a little bit of red and pink paints together and mixing to create a nice pink, add water to make a bit watery but not too diluted.
- Next, fold the paper roll to create a heart shape.
- Now stamp the paper roll heart into the paint and then stamp onto the watercolor paper. Create two butterfly wings just 1/2 centimeters apart.
- Next, using the liquid school glue, glue on 3 pom-poms for the body. Let the school glue dry a bit.
- Lastly, color in the wings with a paintbrush using a slightly lighter/diluted hue of the same paint. Let dry. Add antennae using a pink marker.
