How to Make
- Thread the beads onto a pipe cleaners, alternating the colours. Make sure there is a gap on each end of approximately 1 inch.
- Bend the pipe cleaner into a circle and twist the two ends together, making sure you leave a small gap so that you can still move the beads.
- Find the central point and move the beads apart to make a small gap, then twist the circle in the centre to make two wings.
- Repeat steps 1-3 to create another pair of wings.
- Hold the two pipe cleaner wings together so that the centre of each is touching, then use another pipe cleaner and wrap it around to hold them together.
- Cut a pipe cleaner in half and then fold one in half. Bend the tops of the two points over to create the antenna.
- Take one more pipe cleaner and use it to attach the antenna to the top of the butterfly's body by wrapping it around the existing pipe cleaner.
- Take a piece of wool and thread it underneath the top of the pipe cleaner that is the butter-fly's body. Then tie the ends of the wool in a double knot creating a loop for the butterfly to hang from.
