And I’m going to lay this wing on top of it and make like a sandwich of Model Magic with a piece of paper in between. Then I can cut out my second wing and then you might want to think about while you’re cutting out your wings, what kind of designs you could put on your wings. So here are my two wings that are now symmetrical and they should fit pretty well on top of our butterfly. You know if you haven’t use paint markers before there’s one thing when they’re brand new, you have to shake them just to get the ink or the paint next inside the container and then you have to do what we call priming. A brand new paint marker is going to have like a white tip, there won’t be any paint in that yet and you just have to kind of gently bounce it up and down on a scrap of paper until you actually see the paint coming to the point. And then you know that it’s ready to work.
So I’m just going to go ahead and put some dots around the edge of this butterfly and you know like I said, you could put little lines, you could dots and dashes. You could do zigzags. Maybe we could put—I see some little stars in here. So I’m just going to go ahead and just put a little hot glue on here and stick some stars on here. If you’re pretty young you might want to get mom to help you with this little stars because this hot glue gun it’s really hot and I guess this time I went to just try putting the glue on the Model Magic and bring the star on top of it. That will be less likely to burn my fingers I think.
Now if we can just find enough for this to finish it, will be okay here we go. Okay hot glues spider webs, lots of fun to deal with. Whenever you finish a project with hot glue you’re going to have to pull spider webs off of it because that’s what it does. It makes a little spider webs. Okay so now we’ve got two symmetrical wings that we’re going to glue right here on to the body. I’m going to put some hot glue here and put some here. You know I’m always thinking about things you could with this butterflies that would be fun. You could get magnets and hot glue magnets to the back of them and use them for refrigerator magnets. You could hot glue them on to like a pin.
So now I’m going to go ahead and make—we need something kind of small here. I just roll out a little ball and press it and kind of an oval shape. I like a little leaf shape. This would make a nice little wing here. So this is going to go here but I think I definitely want to put some more ducks to make the match. Oh I think we need some eyes. I think I’m going to go with kind of small ones, smallest ones. And we’ll put an eye there and then we put an eye right there and we’re going to glue this wing and we’re going to glue that wing. We need some little antennas there, and then we can’t have a butterfly without the antennas. So I think the gold sparkly one will look pretty cool. So I’m going to cut these about the same length and just kind a twist them and then you can actually stick them the top of his head right into the Model Magic and there we go. There we’ve got our little butterfly. So if this sits out in air dry, its going to stiffen up and it won’t be so fluffy like this and then you’ll be able to attach it to whatever you want. We’ll we’ve had a couple of seconds for this to dry and I think I’m going to go back and touch this little butterfly here because it just want you to know that just because you smear something, it doesn’t mean its ruined because rarely have I seen an art project that wasn’t fixable. So not to ever panic when you smear something because it can always be fixed.
Use two pieces of Model Magic to create a head and body. Attach them with hot glue and decorate. Cut out a wing from Model Magic, trace it and cut out a second wing. Decorate with markers or fake gems. Create and decorate two more smaller wings and then attach. Use two short pieces of pipe cleaners to create antennae. Allow to air dry.
