Flatten the coffee filters and decorate them using markers or watercolors in bright, bold shades. Lightly spray with water to let the colors blend, then let them dry.
Once dry, pinch each filter in the center to form two sets of wings. Secure both together in the middle using a rubber band or twist tie.
Attach the wings to the handle part of your spoon, wrapping the band snugly around the base. The spoon’s head will serve as the butterfly’s face.
Glue on googly eyes and twist a pipe cleaner around the top of the spoon to form cute little antennae.
Adjust the wings until they look full and symmetrical, then let your butterfly dry.
