Combining beautiful Autumn leaves and a few other treasures from nature to create butterflies! For this fun Fall craft, we used a hot glue gun which could burn little hands without careful supervision. Best (and more fun) to make together!
Start with:
- Assorted Autumn Leaves
- Pinecones (long and skinny work best)
- Pine Needles
- Wooden Beads
- Hot Glue Gun
Create It!
Step 1: Heat hot glue gun and add glue to stem end of the pinecone. Attach wooden bead.
Step 2: Once glued bead has cooled, add glue to one leaf for wing and attach to pinecone.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 three more times until four wings are attached to pinecone body.
Step 4: Add drop of glue to top of wooden bead and attach two pine needles for antennas.
Just like a real butterfly, the wings will be delicate. Handle with care!
