Let’s Make These Butterfly Craft Love Bugs
I will now share step by step instructions for making these super cute butterfly love bugs.
Step One – Wine Cork Butterfly Craft
Take two large foam hearts and two small foam hearts and glue the small hearts onto the larger hearts with your super glue to make decorative butterfly wings.
Step Two – Wine Cork Butterfly Craft
Once your hearts have dried, it’s time to glue your hearts onto your wine cork to make those butterfly wings part of your Wine Cork Butterfly.
Step Three – Wine Cork Butterfly Craft
Next, take your googly eyes and glue them onto your wine cork.
I suggest placing them at the end with the corkscrew hole.
Step Four – Wine Cork Butterfly Craft
While you’re waiting for your wine cork butterfly to dry, take your pipe cleaners and cut them into butterfly antennas.
Once your wine cork butterfly has finished drying, take your pipe cleaners and stick them into the cork.
If you make the head of the butterfly at the end you inserted your wine corkscrew into the cork, you should have a little hole to stick your pipe cleaners into easily.
If not, stick a needle into the cork to make a hole.
And just like that, you have cute and adorable DIY Wine Cork Butterflies!
