You\u2019ll either be making wings with tissue paper or cutting out wings from construction paper. Just fold the construction paper in half, draw a big letter \u201cB\u201d on the fold and cut it out to create the perfect pair of wings! You\u2019ll also be creating a face on the bag.

Butterfly rings<\/a> are a colorful bit of art that you can wear on your hand and can customize with any color pipe cleaner! Don\u2019t feel limited to creating just one, you can make multiple butterfly rings and have one or more on each hand. This is a great project that only requires one material \u2013 colorful pipe cleaners. You\u2019ll twist piper cleaners a few times around the middle to get them to fit on your finger and then create the wings. You can mix it up with a two-color butterfly or just use one color. The body will be a small, black pipe cleaner which you\u2019ll wrap to create short antennae. Check out the details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
