I need one last Craft to make this semester. Then I will gear up for our Summer Reading Program.

And I ran across this great post

https://www.artsyfartsymama.com/2020/04/free-printable-butterfly-suncatcher.html?m=1

And although I copied her butterfly colors ALMOST 100%, I thought her butterfly was AMAZING and beautiful and I have loved rainbows since as far back as I can remember. So yes, I copied.

I haven’t added the Baby oil yet, I will post after I try that out.

Here's my take on her idea.

Now I have done the Baby Oil version. It was fun. I colored one color family with one Q-tip, as in all red even if different shades of red. All orange with a 2nd Q-tip, etc.

Then I turned it over on the back and basically used one q-tip and kept rewetting it with the oil and "colored" the back of the butterfly. It kept getting "darker" and showing the butterfly. After I got the back all showing with the butterfly, I got the extra baby oil off by blotting it between 2 paper towels. Don't rub. It will remove some of the coloring.

Then cut it out. It is almost translucent.

Beautiful! Thank you Artsy Fartsy Mama for this amazing idea!!
