Make a beautiful Butterfly Lantern to decorate your room or workspace with just the humblest of craft materials – paper! It’s a fun project that both kids and adults will enjoy making.<\/p>\n

Used floral or patterned scrapbook paper to personalise the design to match your home decor.<\/p>\n

\"Paper<\/p>\n

Have you ever visited a butterfly house? It’s a delightful experience full of fleeting moments of joy. The purest of those is when a butterfly chooses to land on a child’s head.<\/p>\n

It’s tempting to want to take a photo, but in the few seconds you fluff around with the camera, the butterfly has moved onward. The moment has passed. Some things, I suppose are only meant to be captured as memories.<\/p>\n

Today I have for you a paper lantern project that celebrates the beauty of butterflies. Unless you have lepidopterophobia <\/em>(the fear of butterflies), I think you will agree, this butterfly craft is something very pretty to make.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Pair it with an LED candle and you have a lovely gift for Mother’s Day or a Teacher’s Gift. It would also look very pretty as part of a table centerpiece at your next party or special dinner.<\/p>\n

Just remember no real candles – fire and paper don’t play nice.<\/p>\n
