Tissue Butterflies

I love this pretty little project.

Materials

• tissue paper (cut into 4" x 2 1/2" pieces)
• pipe cleaners
• string or ribbon
• construction paper (4" x 2 1/2") & pencil for pattern
• scissors

Directions

1. Cut the pipe cleaners into 3" pieces and then fold them in half.
2. Fold construction paper in half.
3. Draw the butterfly wings starting on the fold of the paper.
4. Cut on the lines. This will be your pattern.
5. Fold all of your tissue sheets in half.
6. Place your pattern over the tissue, trace and cut. 
7. Open the tissue butterflies.
8. Lay two to three on top of each other and then attach in the center with the pipe cleaner and twist at the top.
9. If you'd like to make a butterfly garland just do one last twist with the pipe cleaner onto the string.
