Butterfly Mobile from Family Fun
It's a treat to catch even a glimpse of a butterfly, and with this colorful mobile, you'll have a fleet of the creatures hanging around. To make one, you'll need paper, scissors, colored translucent plastic report covers, glue, pipe cleaners, 28-gauge wire, fishing line and a wire coat hanger.
Start by drawing a butterfly wing on paper and cutting it out for a template. Place the template so that the straight edge is flush with the report cover fold, trace around it and cut out the shape. Unfolded, the cutout will be a whole butterfly. Use this method to make seven more.
Next, cut small translucent circles of various colors and glue two onto each wing. Then, wrap a pipe cleaner around the butterfly. Twist the ends of a piece of wire to the top and bottom of the pipe cleaner. Tie a length of fishing line to the center of the wire on each butterfly. Finally, shape the coat hanger into a figure eight and tie on the butterflies so that they hang at different lengths.Make coffee filter butterflies
