1. Prepare Your Whisk

Grab your metal whisk and let's start crafting!

Begin by bending two wire hoops to one side and the other two to the opposite side.

Bend the remaining hoop down in the middle.

The side hoops will form the butterfly wings, and the middle hoop will become the antennae.

2. Cut the Middle Wire

Using wire cutters, carefully cut the middle wire at its top.

This will help us shape the antennae later.

3. Wrap the Wings

Now, it's time to create those beautiful wings. Wrap each wire hoop with string.

Start at the bottom of the hoop, securing the first bit of string with a dab of hot glue.

Continue wrapping the string around the hoop, adding small dabs of hot glue every so often to keep it secure.

When you reach the end, cut off any excess string.

Repeat this process for each hoop.

4. Wrap the Handle

Don't forget the handle! Wrap it in string too.

Begin with a dab of hot glue at the top, then wrap and glue your way to the bottom of the handle.
