How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
To make a dragonfly, you will need:
- 3 colored chenilles (30 cm x Ø 6 mm - ref. 02318)
- a colored pompom with a ring
- 8 pearl beads Ø 8 mm
- a disco bead
- 2 movable eyes Ø 8 mm
- white strong glue
- a pair of scissors
Step 1
Fold a caterpillar in half and slide a colored pom-pom with a ring into it.
Step 2
Thread 7 round iridescent beads onto both ends of the chenille, then add a pretty colored "disco" bead.
Step 3
To make the dragonfly wings, take 2 caterpillars and shorten one of them by about 5 cm.
Step 4
Form two circles with the chenille stems. To do this, simply join and twist the two ends of a chenille stem together.
Step 5
Pass the 2 ends of the chenille inside the small circle, form the wings and then twist them around the main chenille to attach them.
Step 6
Create the second pair of wings using the large circle, then thread a pearlescent bead.
Step 7
Roll the 2 ends of the caterpillar into a snail shape to create the head of the dragonfly.
Step 8
Glue 2 Ø 8 mm wiggle eyes with strong white glue.

The beads are very difficult to thread onto the 2 pipe cleaners, I had planned this activity for a birthday but it will be too difficult for the children to do, too bad because it looks nice...
Les perles sont très difficiles à enfiler sur les 2 chenilles, j’avais prévu cette activité pour un anniversaire mais ça va être trop difficile à réaliser par les enfants dommage car joli rendu…
