How to make this craft step-by-step:

Materials

To make beautiful fireflies, you will need:

- colored plastic eggs (nesting)

- square rhinestone stickers

- eye stickers

- colored caterpillars

- tracing paper

- a black marker

- a pair of scissors

- LED candles

- adhesive dots

Step 1

Stick square gem stickers on the bottom part of the plastic egg.

Tip: Open the egg so that children can more easily distinguish the joint between the two parts.

Step 2

Stick 2 adhesive eyes on the upper part of the egg.

Step 3

Draw a nice smile with a permanent marker.

Step 4

Fold a sheet of tracing paper in half and then draw the wings of the firefly (starting from the folded edge).

Cut the wings along the outline.

Note: Folding the sheet in half will ensure that the wings are symmetrical.

Step 5

Cut the wings in half at the fold and glue them on either side of the egg using adhesive dots.

Step 6

Open the egg and pass a colored caterpillar through the two holes located at the top.

Step 7

Cut the excess pipe cleaner and then twist the ends to create the firefly's antennae.

Step 8

Place a powerful LED candle inside the firefly.

Note: We preferred to use our powerful LED candles instead of standard LED candles because they elegantly showcase the colors of the plastic eggs.
