Butterflies to hang from the ceiling


These butterflies can be hung with ribbon or fishing line.
 We use a thick paper such as Bristol weightboard paper when using magic markers or acrylic paint.
We use water color paper for watercolors or acrylic paints.  Glitter is always a welcome choice.
Ruby and I have been making these on and off over a two year period of time.

Grandme (me) made this with magic markers

Ruby (age 5) loved making these and still is two years later









The inspiration for making these butterflies came from a mother's blog at:
