Servings: 1 Tissue Paper Butterfly
Equipment
Ingredients
- Tissue Paper
- Pipe Cleaners
Instructions
- First, gather your tissue paper. You will need 2 different colors for each butterfly.
- Cut your tissue paper into rectangles. One color should be larger than the other.
- Fold each color of tissue paper in half. Then fold it in half again. Then, layer the smaller piece of tissue paper on top of the larger piece. Now, bring the tissue paper together in the center.
- Next, take a pipe cleaner and, starting about a ¼ of the way down the pipe cleaner, begin wrapping around the center of the tissue paper to form antennae. Leave the beginning end of the pipe cleaner unwrapped.
- Once you get to the last ¼ of pipe cleaner, wrap the two ends around other a few times to secure.
- Curl the ends of the pipe cleaner antennae.
- Viola! A cute tissue paper butterfly!
