Coffee Filter Bug

 Materials:

2 coffee filters

2 craft spoons

Movable eyes

Chenille stems

Hot melt glue

Paint

Food coloring

Ear dropper

Craft stick

Instructions:

1.         Paint crafts spoons on one side.

2.         Glue eyes on the front of the spoon and antennae onto the back of one spoon.

3.         Flatten both coffee filters and cut one so it is smaller than the other.

4.         Bunch up both filters to form wings. Glue both filters onto the spoon to form the butterfly as shown. Glue the craft stick onto the bottom of the spoon for a handle and then glue the other painted spoon onto the back of the butterfly.

5.         Have ready 3 or 4 cups of water. Add drops of food coloring to each cup. (The more food coloring you use and the less water the brighter the butterfly).

6.         Place the butterfly on a paper towel. Now using the ear dropper drop the colored water onto the butterfly to make a pretty design.  Let dry.
