Currently the maple gives us its fruits. Many know these fruits as wings or as propellers.
From the maple fruits you can make beautiful dragonflies and butterflies. Look for yourself!
During a walk you collect the fruits of the maple and small branches. You can find them, for example, in the forest, in the garden or on the meadow.
At home you'll find your materials. You'll need the maple fruit, branches, a garden shear, a wire and the hot glue gun.
First of all, you cut your branches with the garden shears.
You can determine the size yourself.
Now you shape your feelers out of wire. Cut off two pieces of wire, each about 10 cm long.
Wrap the ends of the wire twice around the branch and then form the wire into small snails.
Attention: If you use a branch fork, then you don't need any probes made of wire. Because then there are already feelers.
Now you need the fruit of the maple.
Now stick this with hot glue on the branch. Attention when handling the hot glue - risk of injury!
Sticks two fruits to butterfly wings.
Or just put on a few wings.
If the wings stick to each other in the same formation, then the wings of a dragonfly arise.
At the end you place the butterflies and/or dragonflies on the branch and stick them with the hot glue.
Tip: The butterflies look particularly beautiful on a large decorated branch. To do this, choose a branched branch. Decorate it with flowers and stick to it your butterflies.
Have fun!
