Instructions:
For large butterflies I used 4 jumbo sized liners, folded them in half,  folded them in half again and
then glue them together at the corners and glue the pairs overlapping.

Add shape to the wings by cutting around the edges.

Add color by sponging some ink at the outer edges.

Paint the clothespins with soft acrylic colors and sprinkle them with glitter.

A snip of natural twine works well for antennae. Add some drops of glue to the ends and dip them in glitter.

The painted clothespins, twine antennae, are used to create the body.

Be sure and glue the antennae onto the top of the clothespin. If you glue it on the back then you can’t see them when you clip them onto something.

Glue the clothespin in the center of the wings with craft glue.

Then you can add ribbon or more glitter or any decorations you wish.
