You will need:

  • Large Sheet of Paper
  • Poster Paints
  • Black Pipecleaners
  • Glitter Glue
  • Google Eyes
  • Colossal Pipecleaners
  • PVA Glue

Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. When the paint has dried, add decoration and pattern using differing colours of glitter glue. Again, leave to dry.
  3. 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.
  4. After this take another colossal pipecleaner, cut in half, and curl the ends. Glue these to the head of your butterfly.
  5. Now your butterfly is complete!
