Step Three-Cut the slots in the butterfly for the candy-stick body.

Step Four- Then carefully open the wings and weave the candy stick down into one slit and up through the other.

Step Five-To make the antennae, gently wind the pipe cleaner tightly around one end of the candy stick so that two equal lengths extend upward and then curl the ends.

Step Six-Decorate your butterfly with the dots and write your message on the back.
