Washcloth Butterflies

How to make a butterfly using a washcloth.

Equipment

  • Washcloth (baby size or regular size)
  • Pipe cleaners – in any choice of color
  • Googly Eyes
  • Glue – we used hot glue but tacky glue would be great too

Instructions

  • Fold both sides of the washcloth inwards so they meet in the middle
    Step 1
  • Turn the washcloth and fold each side again, meeting in the middle
    Step 2
  • Tuck one end into the other
    Step 3
  • Flip the washcloth over
  • Cinch the middle of the washcloth together in the center (creating butterfly wings) and secure it by twisting a pipe cleaner
    Step 4
  • Trim the butterfly antennae as desired
  • Glue on googly eyes
