2. Paint your butterfly wings. Let them dry completely. When they are finished drying, slide your wood peg doll down onto your wings.

3. Glue craft gems onto your butterfly wings. My daughter and I had a ball looking through all of the different colors, shapes and sizes of all of the gems while our butterfly wings were drying. We created all kinds of different patterns to decide what we wanted to put on our butterfly wings.
