On a crafty day

My small little artists wanted to make something best out of waste, so we used empty tissue paper rolls for making these beautiful butterfly pencil holders & decorative owl. It was really fun to make all these, very easy & simple art & craft project for kids of any age group. Here are some tips for making these.............

Material used : Empty tissue paper rolls, colored construction sheets, small round cardboard (for the base of pencil holder), colored marker pens, glue stick.

Cover the roll with colored paper & glue it properly then make face & body of butterfly as shown in picture, attach the base round cardboard for the holder then fold another colored construction paper & cut butterfly wings shape. Decorate wings with different color pens (you can even stick some sequins & beads) or any other innovative way you like. Now you can stick the wings at the back with glue.

 For decorative owl we covered the roll with construction sheet then turn the top from both sides to the center & secure it with a tape to form a shape as shown in the picture below. After that you can make the features of owl. use & small cardboard for & stick it in the base, cut small claws & stick it at the bottom.
