Butterflies in the decor

One of the most popular ways to transform a house is to decorate a wall of a panel or place paper butterflies on it, which can be not only white, but also colored. To decorate the walls, it is recommended to take applications of different sizes, and play with forms is allowed, as the stencils of butterflies can be different.

To receive templates of different colors, it is enough to print ready-made ones taken from the site and transfer them to wrapping paper for gifts. Thus, it is possible to obtain not only bright insects, but also shiny ones. How can I do it myself.

It is most effective to place them in such a way that the butterflies look like a swarm just sat down to rest. To do this, stick them on a panel or wall should be randomly, and not the way it is done at entomological exhibitions.

Advice! If you place them under the air conditioner or next to a window where they will be affected by a draft, you can get the illusion of flying, since the wings of the butterflies will move.

Butterfly Crafts

Quite often, butterfly stencils for cutting out of paper, the templates of which are presented on the site, are used in children's art. Of course, schoolchildren cannot afford to cut an openwork butterfly, but they can well master a solid pattern.

Someone may object that today in stores you can buy a lot of ready-made decorative stickers, with which to create any card. But here the element of creativity, not the result obtained, is much more important. Well, the development of fine motor skills is also evident.

In children's crafts, not just white, but colored butterflies look much more interesting. To create such, color paper or trim old wallpaper is suitable. The latter sometimes look even more original than paper butterflies. How is it carried out.

Interesting!   Another idea for applying butterfly patterns is to create cards directly from them. In this case, the format of the template should be large enough and it will need to be transferred to cardboard.

Crafts with butterflies whose wings are strewn with small sparkles or rhinestones look interesting. The latter is more convenient to glue until the template is cut from a whole sheet. You can draw ready-made butterflies in other ways: draw wings, stick appliqués from self-adhesive paper, etc.

How to do

Everything is very simple here. Do you want to find a butterfly stencil for paper cutting, A4 templates that are not difficult to print, or small instances are required, the scheme is one:

• a suitable pattern is selected, which can be solid or openwork;
• a sheet of paper is taken and inserted into the printer;
