Shells Butterfly

I kept the shells of the mussels I ate few days ago. Sure came in handy! This is a fast and easy craft. Only took us 5 minutes to do it.

Materials needed:

• Mussel shells or any shells
• Pipe cleaners
• 1 ice-cream stick
• Scotch tape

How to do it:

1. Fold pipe cleaner into half.
2. Curl the tips.
3. Open the shells and turn over
4. Place the pipe cleaner in the middle of the shells.
5. Use tape to secure it.
6. Place the ice-cream stick over the pipe cleaner.
7. Use tape to secure it too.
8. Turn it over and you have a butterfly.

Note:
The mussel shell has a mother of pearl like inside so no further decoration is require. However, go ahead to decorate it if you want to.
