HOW TO MAKE A FOAM CUP BUTTERFLY CRAFT

Supplies:

small foam cup
acrylic paint (color of your choice)
paintbrush
white cardstock paper
crayons
watercolors
pipe cleaner
googly eyes
glue

Directions:

1. Start by painting the outside of your foam cup with the color of your choice. Set it aside to dry completely.

2. Cut butterfly wings out of your white cardstock paper. Add details to them with wings and then paint them with your watercolors.

3. Make a small fold on the insides of the butterfly wings, add glue to the folds and glue them onto the sides of the foam cup.

4. Glue your googly eyes onto your foam cup and draw a mouth on your butterfly.

5. Cut your pipe cleaner in half. Curl one end on each piece to make antennae. Poke them down into the top of the foam cup to make your butterfly antennae.
