Cupcake case butterflies

                 

We have been learning about butterflies recently so I decided we should make some. I scoured the internet and found so many great craft ideas. I loved these little cupcake case butterflies but they either used 4 cupcake cases to make 4 wings or 2 to make 2 wings. I experimented and found out that by folding them in a certain way I could make 4 wings using only 2 cases. Here is my tutorial.

Supplies

Cupcake cases (2 per butterfly)

Wooden clothes pegs

Glue

Glitter

Gems

                 

                                First, get 2 cupcake cases.

                 

                                Fold them in half.

                 

Fold them over again with one side overlapping the other like this. See, It looks like 4 wings!

                 

                            Glue in the middle.

                 

                     Next, Glue a wooden clothes peg in the middle.

                  

Then have fun decorating with glitter. Finally, use a gem as the butterflies head.
