Happy crafting and enjoying the beautiful autumn season, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Autumn Butterflies Supplies:

* Paper Plates {large or small}
* Plastic Decorative Leaves {or the real stuff from outside!}
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Pipe Cleaners
* Hand-Held Stapler

Directions:

* First you will want to make the body of your butterflies. This is done by cutting two small triangles {see picture for reference} out of the paper plate.
* Once you have that done, add glue all over the remaining paper plate.
* Have children place their leaves on top of the glue, until their paper plate piece is completely covered. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Fall Butterflies – simply fold a pipe cleaner in half {for the antennas} and staple on to the paper plate. Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!
