With our upcoming move to Florida, I’ve been trying REALLY hard to think outside the box and use up some supplies I’ve been hoarding for quite some time.

You may have noticed that I’ve been sharing a ton of popsicle stick kid crafts on the blog lately. That’s because I’ve managed to collect ONE MILLION popsicle sticks {or more} within the past year. Seriously – where did they all come from and why do I have ten boxes of them???

Anyways – on my recent creative brainstorming adventure, I came up with these Clothespin Popsicle Stick Butterflies. Although I’m pretty sure they should fall into my “spring” time tab, I think they are perfect for ALL YEAR LONG.

So on that note – I hope YOU do too and you make them today! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Wooden Clothespins
* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
* Paint Pens {we love these}
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Colorful Cardstock
optional – glitter glue, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First paint your clothespin and popsicle sticks however you like! You will want one clothespin and one popsicle stick PER butterfly. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While those are drying, grab your cardstock and cut a pair of antennas per butterfly.
* To finish off the Clothespin Popsicle Stick Butterfly craft, have children “pinch” the jumbo popsicle stick in between the clothespin to make the butterflie’s wings and then glue their cardstock antenna piece on the other end. Then draw on some eyes to give it life before playing and/or displaying proudly!!!
