This is a great craft to do at a children's party. Before the party, glue all the pipe cleaners to popsicle sticks. The children can do everything else themselves during the party.
For each butterfly you will need:
 | A popsicle stick |
| A pipe cleaner |
| A cone-shaped coffee filter |
| Colorful markers or crayons |
| Glue (a hot glue gun is perfect- an adult does the gluing) |
 Put glue on popsicle stick. |
 Attach the pipe cleaner. |
Have an adult glue a pipe cleaner to a popsicle stick. Hot glue is the easiest way to do this. Let the glue cool off for a few minutes while the children decorate the wings. |
 |
Open up a cone-shaped coffee filter at the seam. Decorate the coffee filter with markers or crayons. Decorations in the very middle will be crumpled, so concentrate on the outer parts. | |
|
Attach the paper to the popsicle stick with the pipe cleaner. Bend the ends to form antennae. | |
