  • While the coffee filter is drying, decorate the popsicle stick. Spread the liquid glue using a clean paintbrush onto the popsicle stick and sprinkle with glitter. Working on a paper plate helps with clean up!

  • Once the coffee filter has dried, fold it in half and use the craft scissors to trim to make butterfly wings.
  • Choose a pipecleaner and trim to make antennae.
