Four easy steps
- An adult cuts around the butterfly, removes the four wing windows, and cuts two pieces of contact paper slightly larger than the butterfly.
- Place the butterfly frame on one piece of contact paper with the sticky side facing up.
- Let the child fill the open wings with cellophane and decorate the butterfly body.
- Cover with the second piece of contact paper. An adult trims the edges, then tapes the butterfly to a sunny window.
