Instructions for this Butterfly Craft
Above is a Handy Video to help you on your way to making this Butterfly Craft
- First off, if you are NOT using colored clothespins…you’ll want to prepare your clothespins by painting them with your choice of color, and setting them out to dry
- While the clothespin dries, add stuffing to your snack bags
- You’ll only want to fill them halfway
- Close the bag and trim off the excess above the seal
- Pinch the middle of the bag
- Starting at the seal, open the clothespin, push your clothespin over the middle of the bag and close it
- Bend your 3 inch piece of pipe cleaner into a V and insert it into the top of the clothespin
- Bend the pipe cleaner into antenna and add the google eyes. If necessary, use glue to secure the antenna and eyes. Use your sharpie to make a sweet little butterfly smile
That’s it! You are done, my friend! Don’t you love how easy and fun this is to make? Enjoy your adorable butterflies fluttering all around the house this spring.
