Second Craft: Butterfly

Dear Viewers,

We have been thinking real hard about the next craft while we where on a vacation, and so here it is: Butterfly. This also a very cool trader!

You'll need the fallowing:

> 3-4 bendaroos: 2 of one color and 2 of another.
> Scissors!(What would you do with out scissors?)
> Microwave!(The butterfly body just wouldn't stick!)
> Glitter, if you desire a sparkly set of wings.
> A pair or two of hands!


The easy steps of making a butterfly:

1. Take 1 of your waxy wire and cut it in half. Repeat with the remaining wax-wires, but leave one of the body/antennas color uncut.
2. Take the same 2 colored and roll them in to leaf shape. Stick them all together, the bigger looking ones on top.
3. Take 1 of the other colored wax wire and fold it in half. Then twist it around, but make the first looser then the rest, for this is the head.
4. Next you cut the already cut in half, last color. Attach to the head and very corners of the wings.
and if you desire...
5. If you want, add glitter to give this butterfly sparkle. Microwave.
6. Rub the semi melted wax over glitter. !CAUTION! May burn fingers!


Enjoy this craft! Thanks and tell your friends,

Happy crafts,
