Butterfly Fridge Magnet
This is such a beautiful gift for grandma right now. You can safely leave it in her mailbox and she can hang it on her fridge so she knows you're thinking of her! If you live near enough to grandma, you can leave her little notes or photos each week for your butterfly magnet to hold!
Materials
For pink butterfly:
- One clothes pin
- 5 pink pipe cleaners
- 2 small white pom-poms
- 64 beads (pink, purple, white)
- Pink marker
- Glue
- Flat magnet
For blue butterfly:
- One clothes pin
- 5 green pipe cleaners
- 2 small white pom-poms
- 64 beads (blue, green, white)
- Blue marker
- Glue
- Flat magnet
Instructions:
Colour your clothes pins with the marker (pink or blue). 
Next, put the beads on each pipe cleaner. 16 beads on each pipe cleaner (use four of them, save the fifth for later).
Now make the pipe cleaners loops for the butterfly wings and tie the two ends together. 
Next, you want to start by gluing one loop to the back of the clothes pin. If you decide to use hot glue, make sure you get an adult to help you. 
After gluing one, do the rest one by one and let it completely dry. 
Then, over top of where the pipe cleaners where placed I glued the magnet on. 
Lastly, cut one pipe cleaner in half, glue the small pom-pom to it and attach it to the inside of the clothes pin. 
And that's it! Let it all dry and enjoy.
