How to do it
1 Guide step %d Paint the foldback clip with watercolours.
2 Guide step %d Thread beads onto 2 pipe cleaners. Make sure to leave space between the beads.
3 Guide step %d Shape each pipe cleaner into a circle by twisting the ends together. Squeeze each circle together in the middle and twist a few times to form a figure 8. You now have two pairs of wings.
4 Guide step %d Cut a pipe cleaner in half and use one half to assemble the two sets of wings in the middle, as shown in the picture. Twist the ends together, but do not twist the top part. You now have two sets of antennae.
5 Guide step %d Apply a strip of glue along the butterfly’s body as shown in the picture.
6 Guide step %d Press the foldback clip into the glue. Add a set of googly eyes and draw a small mouth.
