How To Make 3-D Butterfly Wall Decals

Supplies

• Card stock
• Butterfly stencil
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Instructions

Step One: Trace

Trace three butterflies onto the card stock and cut them from the paper.

Step Two: Fold

Fold two of the butterflies in half. The third butterfly will serve as the base of the decal.

Step Three: Glue

Draw a thin line of glue on the spine of one butterfly. Firmly press the spine into the center of the butterfly base. Hold the butterfly in place until it dries. Repeat this step again with the remaining butterfly except place this butterfly in the center of the previous butterfly.

There you have it- 3-D butterfly wall decals! Attach them to the wall using double sided tape or thumb tacks.
