Butterfly Mobil


1) Make One thick butterfly wing shape.

2) Cut thin slices for each wing.

3) Paint.

4) Glue two wings to a colored pipecleaner for the body and antennas.

5) Hang them by transparent nylon threads.

TIP:
Save some painting time by tracing the pattern onto both sides of one extra thick foam wing. Make indentations on this thick wing with the Hot Wire Engraving Tool where all the base color (yellow in this case) will be. Paint all the wings their base color and let them dry. Then use the thick engraved wing as a stamp, by sponging paint (black in this case) on the raised portions and pressing them onto each of the wings.
