Once you start making these, you will not be able to stop!
Now, onto the sweet cuties!
Step 2.Take the two Vs and have their middles meet so they now look like the capital letter X.
Before twisting them, ensure they are evenly placed so the wings wont be uneven later on.
Step 3.Once they sit evenly, twist both pipe cleaners in opposite directions.
A few good twists will work.
Start curling the pipe cleaner inward toward the center and repeat thrice.
Step 4.Once all wings are curled inward, start shaping the wings for top and bottom, respectively.
This step means pinched wings, moving the bottom wings back, etc.
Step 5.Grab the shorter, six-inch pipe cleaner after your butterfly or butterflies are shaped.
Make another V, but fold italmostentirely in half.
Step 6.Take your short, skinny V pipe cleaner and slip the butterflys body into it.
Your butterfly should be supported by and sitting at the lowest point of the pipe cleaner.
Situate the body evenly and fix any unevenness of the shorter pipe cleaner.
Then, bend the tops of the antennae to your liking.
That is the main body of the work!
The next part is for those who want this as a decor piece or a more versatile tool.
Step 8.Grab your mini paper clip and hot glue gun the back of the clip.
Immediately attach it to the back of your butterfly and let it dry.
Step 9.double-check to orient the clip in the direction youd like it to face for your purposes.
Its important to allow enough drying time for the clip on the back of the butterfly.
Also, allow the pom pom to dry completely onto the pipe cleaners.
