Tissue paper butterflies
  • Cut out butterfly shapes in different colours of tissue paper
  • Use 2 different coloured shapes together
  • At this stage you can add spots of scrunched up tissue paper with glue (a fun bit)
  • Cut pipe-cleaners in half (to about 6")
  • Fold pipe-cleaner over ther middle of the butterfly shapes, scrunching the tissue paper in the middle.
  • give a twist to each end if the pipe-cleaner to hold it in place
  • The end that has 2 ends is the feelers
  • Hang on some sewing thread: this can be sewn onto the centre of the body with a needle, or you can catch it in before you twist the ends.
  • If it won't hang straight try bending the pipe-cleaner into a gentle curve.
