Clothespin & Popsicle Stick Butterflies

Clothespin & Popsicle Stick Butterflies - Art Project For Spring

Butterfly Puppets Made From Wood Pieces

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 Wood 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 creating.

So on that note – I hope YOU and your child are inspired to recreate them today! You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full step-by-step tutorial below!

Happy crafting my friends! If you wouldn’t mind, please share pictures of your finished clothespin butterfly puppets with us on our Facebook page! I love seeing the inspiration come to life and can’t wait to admire your hard work from a far! #gluedtomycrafts
