Can I use other materials instead of pipe cleaners?

Yes! You can use paper, fabric, or even recycled materials if you don't have pipe cleaners handy.

What age is this craft suitable for?

This craft is ideal for children ages 5 and up, with adult supervision recommended for younger kids handling scissors and glue.

The number of butterflies depends on your materials! With enough pipe cleaners, you can create a whole garden of butterflies.

While they can be displayed outdoors, it's best to keep them inside to prevent weather damage.
