Enchanted Learning Software's BUTTERFLY MOBILE More Kinder Crafts
A colorful butterfly mobile made from construction paper, thread, and twigs.
This carefully balanced sculpture moves with every breeze.
|
Supplies needed:
|
 |
 |
Fold a piece of construction paper in half and cut along the fold. (This will make 2 butterflies - you'll need to make 4 or more butterflies for your mobile.) |  |
 |
Fold one of these pieces of paper in half.
Draw half of a butterfly along the fold line. |
 |
 |
Fold a small piece of black or brown paper in half. Draw the body and head of a butterfly on it - make it the same length as your butterfly.
Cut them out. |
 |
 |
Glue a body on each side of your butterfly. |
 |
Using a hole punch, make two holes in the butterfly's head.
Cut a pipe cleaner in half. Thread it through the holes in the butterfly's head as antennae. |
 |
 |
Decorate both sides of your butterfly using crayons, markers, glitter, or glitter glue. |
 |
Using a needle, pull a short length of knotted thread through the balancing point of the butterfly (near its middle).
Tie the other end of the thread to the end of a twig. |
 |
On the other end of the twig, attach another butterfly in the same way. |
 |
Tie a thread to the middle of this twig and attach it to the end of another twig. |
 |
Attach a butterfly to the other end of this twig. |
 |
Using a short length of thread, attach what you've made to the end of another twig. If you want the twigs to remain horizontal, tie the thread where the mobile will balance (but this is not necessary). |
 |
Attach a butterfly to the other end of this twig. |
 |
Tie a longer length of thread to the top twig. If you want the twigs to remain horizontal, tie the thread where the mobile will balance (but this is not necessary).
You now have a beautiful butterfly mobile to hang and display. |
