Butterflies for Senior Center Garden





The picture above is of a butterfly that I am going to use in the garden.


What you will need:
  • cork
  • plastic binder or milk carton
  • pipe cleaner
  • hot glue
  • pencil
  • scissors
  • knife
  • wire cutters
  • pick
How to create the butterfly:

First, you want to take the plastic binder or milk carton and measure out two wings with your pencil.  Then, cut out the wings with your scissors.  Next, take the cork and carefully with your knife make small semi-deep indents in the sides of the cork and put hot glue in the indents.  Place each wing on and hold until they dry.  Then, add more hot glue to the wings to secure it.  Finally, using the wire cutters, cut two tiny pieces of pipe cleaner and make two indents in the top of the cork with the pick,  Put the two pieces of pipe cleaner in the indents and add some hot glue.
