    \r\n
  1. Take a doily and fold it in half, with the coloured side facing outwards. Fold it in half again, and then one more time after that to create one butterfly wing.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Repeat step 1 three more times to create all four butterfly wings.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Use the glue gun, or PVA glue, to stick the wings to the back of the wooden peg. Wait for the glue to dry before continuing.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Take a yellow pipe cleaner and trim two pieces about 1.5 inches long, and curl one end of each over slightly. Glue these to the top of the peg.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Stick two small wiggle eyes to the front of the top of the peg, and use a black pen to draw a mouth underneath them.<\/li>\r\n
  6. Cover the rest of the front of the peg in multicoloured self-adhesive gems.<\/li>\r\n
  7. Trim a piece of magnetic tape about an inch long. Turn the butterfly upside down and stick the magnet to the back of the peg.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
