Spring is in the air and that means soon we’ll be seeing butterflies dotting the outdoor landscape. My kids love looking for different varieties of butterflies in our neighborhood, so I knew they would love this Cupcake Wrapper Butterfly Craft. It is easy to make and personalize in lots of different ways.

This Cupcake Wrapper Butterfly Craft is perfect for Spring! It is easy for kids to make and enjoy. Such a fun kids craft! #kidscraft #butterflycraft #butterflyactivity


Cupcake Wrapper Butterfly Craft

To make this fun butterfly craft you will need:

  • Cupcake Wrappers – in a variety of designs
  • Googly Eyes
  • Clothespins
  • Glue

supplies for a butterfly craft

How to make a cupcake wrapper butterfly craft:

Glue a pair of googly eyes to the top of a clothespin. I like using colorful googly eyes for this step, but use whatever you happen to have on hand. If your kids are feeling especially creative, they can paint the clothespins before they glue on the googly eyes.

Flatten two cupcake wrappers. These will form the wings of the butterfly so you want some wrappers that are vibrant and colorful.

Place the cupcake wrappers side by side, so they slightly overlap in the center.

Now comes the final step (I told you this craft was easy!) – clip the clothespin in the center of the cupcake wrappers and fluff each wrapper to create wings.

Try creating numerous cupcakes using different colored wrappers to add interest.

    We will make these this week! I have an Usborne Cupcake kit wih loads of cute wrappers, but I’ve started using the silicone ones for baking. I didn’t know what to do with the paper ones, and my kids will love this cute solution. Thanks for a totally doable non-messy craft!

    What a fun idea! As a kid I loved art projects and as an adult I still do. I am always looking for something creative to do with my toddler. I think this will be a great for the spring season.

    We made a craft… once. And my toddler acted like it was the worst thing ever and the mess made me hyperventilate lol. I think I’ll leave the crafts for daycare and instead we will just eat the cupcakes that came in the wrapper. But if I’m feeling brave we will give this a try. What’s the worst that could happen? (famous last words)
