This an easy butterfly craft you can do with your kids. You can use it to decorate for spring or as an Easter craft.
Mini Clothespin Butterfly
Spring crafts are so refreshing after a long winter inside. It’s time for some colorful crafts to brighten up the season, like making butterfly straws for a fun drink, making a fairy garden planter to start a little flower garden, and a handprint flower vase to put all of the flowers popping up outside.
This butterfly craft is a super-simple. There are very few supplies and it’s done in minutes.
Supplies Needed
- Silk Flower pulled off of the stem- One with four petals.
- A painted & (optional) glittery clothespin – I found little white glittery clothespins in the wedding aisle of a craft store.
- Floral Sprays – These resemble butterfly antennae and are found in the wedding aisle of craft stores
- Spray Adhesive
- Optional – Self Adhesive Gems
Instructions
Bend a floral spray in a V shape so the antenna ends are at the top of the flower, and glue the V to the flower.
Place your clothespin on the flower, going between the four petals – 2 on each side – pinching it together so it forms a butterfly shape with the antenna sticking out of the top.
Extra Decoration
Add adhesive gems to the clothespin.
Spray glue onto the petals and sprinkle with extra fine glitter.
