Butterfly Swing

The Finished Project...

The Inspiration....

I personally loved customizing this one.

What you'll need...

Mod Podge or Glue

Butterfly stencil 

Coloring Utensils

Scissors

Newspaper

String

A piece of paper or surface to do this craft

A workplace

The first thing you'll want to do is to glue the newspaper down onto your piece of paper. I don't have a picture or this but I'm sure you know what it looks like.

While that's drying you'll want to cut out and color some butterflies...

 I found a butterfly outline I liked, pasted it into a word document, reduced the size down, and copied it and pasted it a ton of times until I had about 20 butterfly outlines which I printed out, colored with colored pencils, and cut out. Feel free to draw your own butterfly outlines.

Also you'll want to draw/printout a person, color it and cut it out. I drew mine...

 You'll also want to cut and color and rectangle for the seat of the swing. You can use a cloud like in the inspiration if you want but I liked the wood bottom.

 You'll then want to take a pencil and draw out where you want the sides of the swing to be.

 Measure string to fit that...

 And then glue it down...

 Then the seat...

 Then the girl...

 And then the butterflies...

You'll want to space them out and overlap them.

I really loved how this turned out. I hope you'll try it and make it your own
