If you’re looking for colorful, cheerful projects that instantly brighten your day, these butterfly crafts are about to deliver. From painted wings and paper projects to wearable creations and nature-inspired decor, there’s something here for every age and skill level.

One of the best things about these winged insects is how flexible they are creatively. You can make realistic designs inspired by nature or go bold with rainbow colors, glitter, pom poms, and playful antennae.

Sparkly beads and bendable antennae transform ordinary craft supplies into whimsical butterflies packed with texture, movement, and personality.Some projects are perfect for toddlers practicing fine motor skills, while others are detailed enough for older children, teens, and adults.

These butterfly crafts also work beautifully for spring decorations, classroom art time, birthday parties, themed activities, and rainy afternoons when everyone needs something creative to do. Many use inexpensive supplies already sitting in your craft stash, including paper plates, cardboard tubes, yarn, paint, felt, and coffee filters.

Several of these ideas are especially fun because they focus on symmetry and butterfly wings, letting crafters experiment with patterns, watercolor effects, and layered textures. Others are practical projects like bookmarks, pencil toppers, masks, and wreaths that can actually be displayed or used afterward.

Teachers will also appreciate how many of these crafts fit naturally into a classroom setting. They pair perfectly with lessons about insects, pollinators, gardens, and fascinating winged creatures students already love learning about.

Whether you’ve visited a butterfly sanctuary, planted flowers to attract pollinators, or simply enjoy bright spring crafts, this list is packed with inspiration. Grab your paint, paper, glue, and scissors because these projects are ready to take flight.

The post 30+ Butterfly Crafts Packed with Color and Creativity appeared first on DIY Candy.

I can’t explain what a big role Star Wars has had in my life. It’s been my favorite movie since I was young. Here’s a few examples: in 8th grade, I got 12″ tall statues of all the characters for Christmas. I own the Trivial Pursuit game and used to play tournaments.

So of course I had to pull together a list of Star Wars crafts that bring that galaxy far, far away into real life. Whether you’re crafting with kids, decorating your space, or making something just because it’s fun, there’s a little bit of everything here.

Some of these are super simple (think quick afternoon projects), and others are the kind you’ll want to show off when you’re done. Either way, you’re about to find your next favorite project.

They’re divided by easy kids crafts and then Scroll through and tell me—which one are you making first?

The post 45+ Star Wars Crafts So Good You’ll Want to Make Them All appeared first on DIY Candy.

Have you been recycling your wine bottles? What about the corks? Well bravo for recycling, but did you ever think about upcycling them instead?

Wine bottles and corks can be used to make some really creative crafts you can use around your home and garden or to give as gifts. Over on my other blog Mod Podge Rocks, I have a list of clever projects you can make using wine bottles. But what about the corks?

Where to Get Wine Corks

There are so many craft ideas using wine corks and I’m sure you’ve come across one or two while browsing Pinterest. You may have even started saving up your wine corks in hopes of creating something fun.

Well, I have some great ideas for you to try. But what if you don’t drink wine or don’t want to drink 100 bottles of wine to make something? Here are some ideas of where you can get wine corks for crafts:

• A local wine bar or restaurant is a great place to get corks. There is no harm in asking if you can take them off their hands!
• You can buy them on Amazon or your local craft store like Michaels.
• Ask your wine drinking friends to save some up for you.
• Occasionally you will see them at thrift stores.
• You can definitely find them at a home brewing supply store. Just search for one in your area.

Prepping Corks for Crafts

If you have used corks, you will want to wash them and let them air dry before using them for a craft. If you purchase them new, you can skip the cleaning and get right to the fun!

Speaking of fun, scroll down and you will see my collection of 20 clever wine cork crafts. PS – Don’t forget about champagne corks. Those work too. Now, which one will you try first?
