Print Project

Step 1

On a clear phone case, start by outlining a butterfly design using white dimensional paint.

Step 2

In rainbow order, start with red on the far side of each wing and create a line of colour from the top to bottom on the wing.

Step 3

To create the petal design within each wing, use a toothpick and drag a petal-shaped line to the upper corner of the wing. Wipe off the toothpick each time; repeat the same shaped line over and over until the wing is filled. Repeat those steps on each wing.

Step 4

Add butterfly antennae and body dots with Gold metallic dimensional paint. Let dry.
