  2. One chenille stem

Now here are the steps:

  1. As in the photo above, fold the paper and cut a B-shape at the loose end. This will become the wings of the butterfly after you open the folded B.
  2. Apply some paint to one part of the folded paper, not making it too watery. Fold the paper and press down so that the paint is transferred to the other side of the paper. Open it up and wait for it to dry.
  3. Paint the t-paper roll with the colors of your choice. Wait for this to dry.
  4. Cut your chenille stem into a preferred length and hot glue the pompoms to the tips. This will make the antennas of the butterfly.
  5. Apply the eyes to the body and the antennas, from the inside of the tube. 
  6. Time to apply the wings of the butterfly.
