Candy Cane Butterfly


I mentioned in my previous post that I was preparing my son's Christmas Goodies for his friends in school. I had this idea from those (tube) perfume sample we received.

You can use it as a card with message written on the inside and instead of Candy Canes, you can use pens or pencils too. But since it's for Christmas, I bought candy canes. You can even hang it on your Christmas tree to decorate it. It will look pretty!

I did most of the cutting here as we need to prepare 20 and he and his little sister did the rest.


Materials needed:
  • Paper (I used 160gsm paper)
  • Stickers or Colouring Medium to decorate
  • Candy Cane

How to do it:

  1. Print the butterfly template on the paper.
  2. Have an older child or adult cut out the shape.
  3. Decorate the cut-out butterfly with stickers or colour it.
  4. Slip the candy cane through the cut out slot on the butterfly.
  5. You can hang it on your Christmas tree using the 'hook' on the candy
