How to make this Fun Butterfly Craft

First color one puzzle piece completely pink, this will be the butterfly’s body. Most puzzle pieces are made from cardboard so you can use whatever you want to color it: markers, paints, crayons, colored pencils, etc.
Next, stick on some googly eyes!
Use the hole puncher to make 2 holes at the top for antenna.
Cut the pipe cleaner in half then again in half so you have 4 pieces total, you will only be using two pieces. Feed one end of the pipe cleaner into the hole, match the ends up and crease. Then twist the two pieces together to form an antenna. Curl at the top for a cute effect. Repeat for the other side.
Take the last two puzzle pieces and create a butterfly wing design of your own.
Use a marker to mark a hole at the ends of the wing pieces and in the middle of the body piece. It helps to mark it first to make sure the hole is in the right place. Punch it out with the hole puncher.Next put the brass fastener through the body piece, then through each wing and fasten in the back.
