Simple Step-by-step Valentine Craft

Today I made a simple little Valentine that I had noticed online sometime last week.  I thought my kiddos might enjoy them and I had all the supplies already on hand.
We'll call them "Candy Butterfly Valentines".
         Supplies you will need: 
                     Sucker (Lollipop - whatever you may call it)
                     Paper (any color you want or have)
                     Google-eyes
                     Scissors
                     Pen
                     Glue (if Google-eyes don't have sticky backs)

Step one:

Fold paper in half and cut a butterfly shape close to the size of your sucker.
 Step two:
Decorate butterfly wings and put two small slits along the fold.  This is how I saw it online, but you can be creative - use stickers, stamps, or whatever you like.
 Step three: 
Add Google-eyes to your sucker and slip it into the wings.
 Step four:
Share your candy butterflies with others!  : )
I thought they were kind of neat and supper easy to make.. hope some others enjoy this as well.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post them.

  1. I saw these before and kept them in the back of my mind to do with Brina one year! You know, since "she" LOVES butterflies so much ;) Good to see they were easy to make, I like that kinda craft when you need to make multiples!
