Directions:
Cut two pieces from the Wrapping paper.
One should be a large square, the other a rectangle as wide as the
square with rounded edges. Exact measurements don't matter. The wingspan
of your butterfly will be as wide as you cut the square.
Fold both pieces of paper fan-style
(starting with the long side of the rectangle in front of you for the
piece with the rounded edges).
The square will be your bottom wing,
the rectangle your top wing.
Use the clothes pin to hold the fan
folded pieces of paper.
Fold the chenille stem in half. The
folded part will be the tail of your butterfly. Twist it a few times to
create the bottom body of the butterfly. Add the bottom part of the wing
and twist the stem once or twice to hold it in place. Repeat with the
top wing. Twist the stem a few more times to create the head of your
butterfly. Use the rest of the chenille stem to create your butterfly's
antennae.
Make a few more of these fun
butterflies to create a butterfly mobile.
Hint - instead of wrapping paper
you can also use colorful magazine and catalog pages.
