Let me share a simple butterfly craft idea using paper tape! First, prepare two strips of paper tape cut to 24 cm for the wings, and three thinner strips of the same length.

Use two of the thinner strips as wing patterns by sticking them down the center of each wing strip.

Fold the remaining thin strip into a V shape to make the antennae.

Apply glue to both ends of each wing strip and form a figure-eight shape to stick them together.

Put the glue on the front side, and make one loop larger and the other smaller.

Make two of these, then cross them and stack them together.

Place the antennae underneath and staple everything in place.

Finally, curl the tips of the antennae and valley-fold the wings in the middle to finish! For wing patterns, you can also add round stickers or draw lines with a pen for a cute touch.

Each technique has a lovely feel, so choose based on your child’s age and interests.

Butterflies made with torn paper collage

Here’s how to make butterflies flying around a flower field.

Cut construction paper into the shapes of butterfly wings and a body to create the base.

If you layer two sheets of construction paper for the base, it will be sturdier.

Tear pieces of origami paper and glue them onto the wings.

Using patterned origami will make it look more festive and give it a spring-like feel.

For the body, add round stickers to distinguish it from the wings.

Draw facial expressions, and your butterfly is complete.

Tearing the origami by hand lets you enjoy differences in shapes and sizes.

Butterflies made with tissue paper

Let me share a gentle-feeling wall decor idea using tissue paper.

First, make a butterfly template, place it on the tissue paper, and cut out butterfly shapes.

Next, wrap a piece of craft chenille stem around the center of the tissue paper and twist it, using the extra ends to create the antennae.

It’s very easy to make, so try making lots of butterflies and let them flutter over a flower field.

If you use white, they’ll look like cabbage whites; if you use yellow, they’ll resemble clouded yellows.

For the flowers, white clover, dandelions, and clover would be nice choices.

Here’s a butterfly craft idea that’s fun for tearing and pasting origami paper.

First, cut construction paper into a butterfly shape and glue it onto a backing sheet.

Cut the backing sheet into the shape of a butterfly as well, then tear origami paper in your favorite colors into small pieces.

Apply glue to the construction paper and paste the origami pieces on.

After that, glue on the butterfly’s head and body, draw the face, and you’re done! Using various origami papers makes it look vibrant when displayed on the wall.

Try decorating with spring flowers like tulips and dandelions, too.

A simple butterfly made with origami

Let’s make a simple origami butterfly! This model is mostly made with basic folds, but there’s a step where you cut the edges, so have a pair of scissors ready.

First, prepare a sheet of origami paper and make crease lines in a cross (+) and an X.

Next, fold along the cross creases as valley folds and the X creases as mountain folds, then collapse the paper into a triangle.

Make sure the white side is on the inside.

Use scissors to round off the edge at the corner where the four layers are not connected.

Open the paper left and right so you have two downward-pointing triangles stacked, then fold the rounded left and right corners of the top layer down toward the center line.

Flip the paper over, fold the bottom pointed corner up, and tuck it into the back to lock it in place.

Flip it over again, then push the tucked triangle inward and make a valley fold along the center line.

Your butterfly is complete! Try making a bunch to create a wall display of a fluttering swarm of butterflies.

In conclusion

We introduced plenty of butterfly ideas that are perfect for April wall decorations.

They ranged from basic ideas like cutting and pasting construction paper, to techniques such as collage and decalcomania, and even some unique options like origami and paper quilling.

Please use these various ideas as inspiration and create a wonderful wall display.
