“Clothespin Butterfly,” Friend, July 1991, 33
Clothespin Butterfly
To make a butterfly, you will need: tracing paper, pencil, scissors, construction paper, spring-type wooden clothespin, crayons or colored markers, glue, glitter, and a pipe cleaner.
-
Trace the butterfly wing on this page and cut it out. Trace the pattern onto the construction paper twice, and cut out both wings.
-
Decorate the butterfly wings and the body (the clothespin) with crayons or colored markers, and glitter.
-
For antennae, bend the pipe cleaner in half, curl the ends, then glue the middle in the clip end of the clothespin.
-
Glue the wing flaps to the sides of the body. Let dry.
