Origami outside the box!

We bought this book of origami papers and made so many cut and stick pictures with it. Some of them even have origami as part of them!

Better than in the shops butterfly wings!

I admit this project is not so easy as most on my blog. You need a sewing machine, fabric, fabric paints and stiff wire to hold out the wings. But if you are a brave mummy here are our "better than in the shops" butterfly wings!

wiggly woggly butterfly picture.

Here is a very easy idea. You can make a 3D picture by cutting out shapes and sticking them up on paper zig zags. In our picture the butterflies and ladybird fly above the leaves!

I hope you like it. Best, Kirsteen
