How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
To make a firefly you will need:
- a plastic egg to fill (5.5 cm)
- a small wooden log (Ø 7 cm)
- leaf skeletons
- googly eyes
- a colored caterpillar
- adhesive ladybugs
- a black permanent marker
- a powerful LED candle
- adhesive dots
- a pair of scissors
Step 1
Cut a piece of pipe cleaner about 15 cm long, open the egg, and thread the pipe cleaner through the 2 holes located at the top of it.
Curl the 2 ends of the pipe cleaner to create the firefly's antennas.
Step 2
Stick 2 foam eyes on the top part of the egg, then draw a small smile and eyelashes with a fine-point black marker.
Step 3
To create realistic-looking wings, we will use skeleton leaves.
Select 2 leaves of the same color and cut them in half lengthwise with a pair of scissors.
Step 4
Glue 2 adhesive dots to the back of the egg (just above the joint between the 2 parts).
Glue the 4 pieces of paper onto the adhesive dots to create the wings of the firefly.
Step 5
Stick 2 adhesive dots under the egg and then attach it to the center of the wooden log.
Step 6
Glue small wooden ladybugs onto the base to give even more charm to your creation!
Step 7
Place an LED candle inside the egg to illuminate the firefly once night falls.
Tip: use our powerful LED candles for their compact size and bright light, which will make the colors of the plastic eggs stand out even more in the dark!
