Craft Project #14 – Butterfly Picks

This is a quick and easy project that took very little time to make. I decided that I want to add some butterflies to the garland that I will be putting around my mom’s door as part of her Spring decorations. It is also a very inexpensive project.

The supplies needed for this craft project are:

Main Street Wall Creations Jumbo Stickers and poster board that were purchased at Dollar Tree. You will also need E6000 adhesive and chenille stems/pipe cleaners which I had on hand.

Step one in this project is to attach the butterflies to poster board. This will give them a strong backing.

Step two: cut out the butterflies. Luckily, this does not have to be perfect.

Step three: gather the supplies needed to attach the chenille stems/pipe cleaners to the back of the butterflies. This is something you probably have already done.

Step four: fold the chenille stems/pipe cleaners in half. Add a generous amount of E6000 to the back of the butterfly. Place the chenille stem/pipe cleaner in the E6000 and press down. It is important to press down on the center of the chenille stem/pipe cleaner to make sure the E6000 covers the center of the stem as completely as possible.

Step five: put the butterflies in an area that the will not be disturbed/moved/touched and allow to dry. I allowed mine to dry overnight.

And now they are ready to attach to the garland when it is time to decorate my mom’s door for Spring.

Now it is time to start working on the next craft project for mom’s spring decorations. I wonder what it will be!
