I'm still working on my butterfly projects for my grandchildren's visit where we will be learning about butterflies. I decided at one point in time they will want to hold one so I made this pattern so they could adopt one as a pet to carry around with them. It can also be worn as a ring.
Supplies
Scissors
Tissue(the type used for gifts) paper
Construction paper
Chenille Pipe Cleaners
Regular Pipe Cleaners
Glue or glue gun
Pattern (supplied by me)
Instructions
Print off the butterfly pattern and cut out as many butterflies that you want to make from construction paper. Do not forget to cut out the holes in the wings so the tissue paper can show through
Lay pattern over tissue paper and cut out one for each butterfly.
Take tissue paper and lay over the construction paper and glue in place.
Take Chenille pipe cleaner and cut for the body and glue in place.
Select a plain pipe cleaner and cut to size were it will fit around the finger and twist closed. Glue it to the underneath of the butterfly and let dry.
