How To Make DIY Pipe Cleaner Butterfly Rings 

Step 1. Take the 2 whole colorful pipe cleaners and line up the ends. Twist these in the middle a few times so that they stay together.

Step 2. Next, let’s turn the twisted pipe cleaners in step 1 into a ring shape. Place the twisted part of the pipe cleaner under one of your fingers. Wrap the pipe cleaners around your finger making sure the ends are equal length. Give the pipe cleaner a couple of twists on top of your finger so that it looks like the picture below.

Step 3. Spread out the 4 pipe cleaner ends. These will be the butterfly wings. Decide which color you want on the top and bottom. Cut about a 1/2 inch off the bottom wing pipe cleaners. 

Step 4. Twist each pipe cleaner end into a spiral toward the center of your ring. Do this for each of the 4 pipe cleaner ends to make the butterfly wings. The bottom wings should be smaller since these pipe cleaners were shorter than the top!

Pro Tip- I’ve experimented with which direction to spiral the wings and found that it really doesn’t matter. You can twist your pipe cleaners either direction and it will still turn out to look like a pretty butterfly when you’re done! 

Step 5. Pinch the wings slightly to give them more of a pointed shape or wing shape!
