Paper Dress/Vest Party - Butterfly and Dragonfly

Mahika's mother contacted me for the idea of having a nature-themed paper dress making party for her daughter's 6th birthday. The birthday party will be held at their house and there will be 7 girls and 1 boy attending the party.

As I started preparing the paper dress and paper vest pattern cut-outs and all the supplies, I thought about the colorful monarch butterflies and blue dragonflies flying around in our neighborhood parks. So I decided the children will be making butterfly paper dress and dragonfly paper vest together at the birthday party!

When I arrived at their house, Mahika's mother has already prepared the perfect set up for children to work on this craft project!


I taped a sample of the paper dress cut-out on the wall as an example while I instructed the children how to make the tissue paper ruffles for the dress and the sleeves.

After cutting out their own butterfly patterns using the origami paper, the girls used markers to decorate them. The boy was cutting tissue paper strips to make grass and gluing on the dragonflies.
 Look how fabulous the paper vest turned out to be!


All the girls had done a wonderful job making their own paper dresses today! 
I am sure it will be a great memory for Mahika.
Happy 6th Birthday!
