Construction Paper Fan |
 Materials (for one butterfly):
- 11" x 14" construction paper (your choice of color, but we like to use a dark color)
- poster paints in assorted colors
- 3 jumbo craft sticks
Equipment:
- tacky glue
- scissors (you can use pinking shears or scissors with a fancy edge)
- pencil
- paint brush(es)
Instructions:
- Place your construction paper on the table in front of you; orient it lengthwise.
- Using the pencil, draw one bow-shaped line across the top of the paper and another across the bottom of the paper, like this:
- Cut along the lines you've drawn. If you're using pinking shears or fancy scissors, cut along the outer edges, very close to the edge.
- Use the poster paints to paint bright flowers all over one side of your construction paper. Let the paint dry.
- Using poster paint, paint the three jumbo craft sticks on one side. Let the paint dry.
- Now paint the other side of the crafts sticks. Paint the edges, too. Let the paint dry.
- Now, fold the construction paper into a fan.
- Glue the top of one craft stick to the back of the right-hand side of the fan. Make sure the edge of the stick meets the edge of the paper.
- Glue the top of one craft stick to the back of the left-hand side of the fan. Make sure the edge of the stick meets the edge of the paper.
- Glue the top of one craft stick to the back of the fan in the middle of the fan. Make sure the stick points straight down from the fan.
- Glue the loose ends of the three craft sticks together, crossing them over one another (see photo). Let the glue dry.
