How to make handmade butterflies from cardboard and paste beautiful love wall decorations

I like butterflies very much, they look beautiful and fly gracefully. If there are not many butterflies next to your residence and you cannot watch them all the time, it is better to make some by hand. A cute and simple design using paper butterflies glued into a heart shape. If you want to make a different design, its very easy, the steps are basically the same??.

This craft took me about two days to complete. All the butterflies were made of cardboard and fixed to the wall with clear tape.
