Begin by carefully cutting the CDs into two symmetrical wing shapes using sturdy scissors.
Apply a thin line of glue along the center of the wooden clothespin.
Press the wing pieces firmly onto the sides of the clothespin and hold until the glue sets.
Glue the two googly eyes onto the top of the clothespin to create the butterfly head.
Finally, tie the twine around the clothespin to create a loop for hanging in your garden.

Supervise kids closely during cutting to avoid injury. Consider painting the edges of the CD wings for a cleaner look.
