Butterfly crafts...it's what's for summer!

Oh yes it's heating up! When I think summer I think "butterflies!" Those winged creatures are my favorite part of the hot weather season.

If you want to bring a few of these beauties inside on a hot day with some butterfly crafts, here are a few ideas.

How about making a butterfly bookmark for yourself or a friend...just like the picture at right?

An easy craft that is a favorite because it feeds butterflies and draws them into my garden is a butterfly fruit feeder--made out of a clay flower pot and tray.

These easy butterfly crafts are fun to make for kids--and they're perfect for a summer day. These ideas use a variety of simple materials like toilet paper tubes and clothespins.
