 Project:Butterfly Stick it
 
Project Level: Easy
 
Time: 1 hour
(not including drying time)
 

Materials:

Cardboard (empty cereal type box)

Plastic grocery bag

Supplies:

Mod Podge or regular glue

Paints (you pic the colors!)

Paint brush

Tools:

Scissors

Tape

 
 

1) This can be done sitting right in the living room! First find a picture of a butterfly or anything else you would like to paint! I cut mine out of a magazine; it was about 3” or so with some room to tape the edges. Cut a piece of cardboard about 8”x 8”, cut a piece of plastic bag

6”x 6”.

 
 2) Tape your picture to the cardboard by the corners. Cover the picture with the plastic. Paint on the Mod Podge in a square pattern over the size of the picture, 6 thin layers making sure each layer dries completely and you go over the same edges. 
 

3) Once it’s dry, start painting! I didn’t follow the same pattern as the picture I found (too much detail)…just used it for the shape…I stroked the brush from the center with black and then filled in the rest with yellow and let dry. Then put on a top coat of Mod Podge and let dry.

 
4) Remove the layers of Mod Podge by picking at a corner until the whole thing lifts from the plastic! Cut out your work of art and stick the side that was on the plastic right to a window, a mirror or even the frig! It will stick until you take it off, leaves no residue and can be moved over and over again! It’s so cool!
