How to make a butterfly out of discarded materials
1. Prepare everything you need for the work. The clothespin will become the body of the insect, it should be ennobled on top, especially if you use not a plastic colored, but an ordinary wooden clothespin. You will need brightly colored shimmering scotch tape for this. Also wire will help to copy the antennae of the fluttering dancer, and pebbles or buttons - eyes. For wings, prepare wrappers, and glitter will be needed for additional decoration and shine.

2. Lay the clothespin on its side and stick a strip of brightly colored tape on it. Cut off the excess and smooth the surface with your finger. Thus, the body of the butterfly will be ready.
3. Next, take care of the wings. Take wrappers and fold them accordingly, it is desirable that their surface was fluted, but ordinary paper and corrugated paper will do. Choose the color and quality as you wish, based on what is available. Make two blanks in the form of moth wings. Staple them together with a stapler. This way, the wings can even move if necessary.

4. Open the clothespin and insert the resulting wing structure into the hole. The butterfly figure is now ready. Also model thin twisted antennae. Bend the wire in half, insert the bent end into the hole of the clothespin and clamp. Curve the ends of the tendrils nicely.

Glue brightly colored eyes on top of the front part of the body. This is a wonderful butterfly.
