2. Paint butterfly wings and slide wood peg doll down onto them
Paint your butterfly wings. Let them dry completely. When they are finished drying, slide your wood peg doll down onto your wings.
3. Decorate wings with gems
Glue craft gems onto your butterfly wings. My daughter and I had a ball looking through all of the different colors, shapes and sizes of all of the gems while our butterfly wings were drying. We created all kinds of different patterns to decide what we wanted to put on our butterfly wings.
4. Add antennae, googly eyes, draw a mouth
Cut a piece of string for your antennae, bend it in half and glue it onto the back of your butterfly head. Then glue on your googly eyes and draw on a mouth with your red or pink marker.
