Hi everyone! I have a fun and simple project for you today. Mom made them with The Great One and Typhoid Mary last week.
All you need are some paper coffee filters, markers , pipe cleaners and a spray bottle.
Put 2 coffee filters together and draw on the top one. ( There are 4 filters in the photo, but you can only see 2).
Then gently spray them.
Pull them apart and let them dry. Then fold them like an accordion.
Then arrange them like I did below and twist the pipe cleaner on so it holds them together and makes 2 antennas. Then separate the folds to open up the wings.

WE like your crafty tips but we are not crafty at all! (Felinecafe)
That is a great crafting idea! I will have to tell my mom so she can show my niece.
Aww, butterflies!
What a fun way to make a butterfly! Not expensive, either. Penny, you and your Mom are great at coming up with things that cost pennies, or are penny savers, and i thank you.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
That is so easy, so inexpensive, and SO beautiful!!
