Butterfly - Beginner

Step 1:

Click on the link to download the .pdf template for the pop-up Butterfly:
Butterfly Template

Step 2:

​Print out both pages from the template onto heavy paper, such as card stock or construction paper.

Step 3:

Color the pieces of butterfly after printing them out. Don't go to the next step until you've colored your butterfly! You can use crayons, pencils or markers but not paint (it will warp the paper).

Step 4:

Use the rounded end of a paper clip to "score" (press along) the dotted lines---- Score both butterfly pieces and down the center of the card itself.

Step 5:

Carefully cut out the pop-up pieces and card along the black outlines              .

Step 6:

Wiggle the tabs marked A and B back and forth a bit to loosen them along the score.

Step 7:

Put a small amount of glue on the black side of tab A and place over the area marked A on the card. Let dry!

Step 8:

Slide the B half on the butterfly down into the A half. Make sure the head and antenna of the B butterfly is in front as shown.

Step 9:

Put glue on the back side of tab B and place over area B on the card. Let dry!

Step 10:

Carefully close the card, then pop-up! You can make this pop-up larger by enlarging the print outs on a photocopy machine. Make sure that you enlarge the pop-up pieces and card the exact same amount. Enjoy!
