In most places, the butterfly season draws to a close in August as these colorful insects begin to migrate to their winter habitats. You and your family can extend the season by crafting some winged creatures that will stick around long after the real ones are gone.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 2 4- by 4-inch spares of tissue paper
Scissors 12-inch pipe cleaner Thread and String (for hanging it up) | |
| Seasons: Summer | |
| Materials: pipe cleaners | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Stack the 2 tissue squares, then trim the edges to resemble
wings. |
| 2. |  Fold the pipe cleaner in half over the wings, as shown,
bunching the tissue slightly. |
| 3. |  Twist together the pipe cleaner ends to hold the paper in
place. Then curl the pipe cleaner tips around your finger or a
pencil to create antennae. Tie one end of the thread to the pipe
cleaner body for a hanger. |
