1.
Prepare black glue
Begin by mixing together your black glue.
To do this, remove the lid from your Elmers School glue.
Squirt some black acrylic paint into the bottle and then put the lid back on the bottle.
Shake the bottle vigorously to mix together the glue and black paint.
Now you have black glue.
Easy, peasy huh?!
Then use your pencil to lightly decorate the inside of your butterfly wings with circles and shapes.
This is your time to let your creativity take over to create a one of a kind butterfly.
Trace the wings
Use your black glue to trace over the pencil markings on your butterfly wings.
Set your butterfly wings aside to dry completely.
Depending on how thick your glue lines are it can take up to 12-24 hours to dry.
Paint with watercolors
After your black glue is dry, use your liquid watercolors to paint your butterfly wings.
Let your watercolor paint dry completely.
Then glue on pieces of a pipe cleaner behind your butterfly head for antennae, and two googly eyes.
