Instructions for this Gorgeous Butterfly Craft

1. Begin by drawing the butterfly wings pattern on your mixed media or watercolor paper. Use your liquid watercolors to paint the butterfly wings. When the watercolors have finished drying cut out your butterfly wings.

2. Add some fun lines and dot details to your butterfly wings with your school glue. Then shake neon glitter onto the glue. Shake off any excess glitter and set aside to dry.

3. Heat up your hot glue gun. For your butterfly body, grab a large shimmer pom and 4 medium shimmer poms and hot glue them onto the scoop stick. Cut two sections off your pipe cleaner, bend the ends down to make antennae and hot glue them behind the butterfly head. Then hot glue your wiggly eyes onto your large shimmer pom.
