1.5 million handmade butterflies to remember Holocaust victims

by

Holocaust Museum Houston wants to collect 1.5 million handmade butterflies, one for each child who perished in the Holocaust.  Technique and medium are wide open – fabric, paper, clay, stitched, glued, whatever you choose – but 2-dimensional butterflies are preferred and should be no larger than 8 x 10 inches.  You could make one or two of them on your own, or use this as a group activitiy with a school or a scouting troop.  Read more about this project.
