CYO Butterfly Drawstring Bags (12 Pack)

CYO Butterfly Drawstring Bags combine colorful spring creativity with a practical craft kids can use long after the activity is finished. Each canvas bag features a detailed butterfly design ready for bright colors, patterns, names, and personal touches, turning craft time into a useful keepsake kids can carry.

Color a Butterfly & Take Your Creativity With You

The printed butterfly design gives kids an inviting starting point while still leaving plenty of room for individual creativity. Participants can use realistic butterfly colors, create bright rainbow wings, experiment with repeating patterns, or invent an entirely original design.

Once the coloring is complete, the project becomes a functional drawstring backpack. Kids can use their finished bags for craft supplies, small belongings, party favors, camp gear, field trips, or other everyday essentials.

Each canvas bag measures exactly 10" x 15¼" and features two 21" nylon drawstrings, creating a roomy finished project that is lightweight and easy to carry.

• Use fabric markers for controlled coloring on the canvas surface
• Color larger wing sections first, then add patterns, outlines, names, and smaller decorative details
• Try repeating colors and patterns on opposite wings to create a symmetrical butterfly design
