You will need:
- Large Sheet of Paper
- Poster Paints
- Black Pipecleaners
- Glitter Glue
- Google Eyes
- Colossal Pipecleaners
- PVA Glue
Instructions:
- Begin by placing a large sheet of paper down on a table and squirt a few lines of different colours of paint onto the sheet. Carefully fold in half and press down. Watch out for paint spilling over the paper! Afterwards place in a safe area to dry.
- When the paint has dried, add decoration and pattern using differing colours of glitter glue. Again, leave to dry.
- Next, take a colossal pipecleaner and cut to size to that it fits the middle of the butterfly’s body and stick down using pva glue.
- After this take another colossal pipecleaner, cut in half, and curl the ends. Glue these to the head of your butterfly.
- Now your butterfly is complete!
