First cut your paper plate in half.

Stapler the two halves together, facing the opposite direction now, to look like a butterfly.

Fold a pipe cleaner in half and stapler to the paper plate. This is the antennas of the butterfly.

Cut your tissue paper into small squares.

Put a good layer of glue all over the paper pieces.

Have your child stick the tissue paper on the glue, until the butterfly is completely covered.

Grab your gold cardstock and cut out a center piece for the body of the butterfly.

Staple it to the paper plate piece.

Let your paper plate butterfly project dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!
