If you like easy crafts and butterflies
you will love this project.
This is a butterfly house.
Why have a butterfly house?
Birds and bees love to eat butterfly larva. If there are no butterfly larva there are no butterflies.
Therefore, a butterfly house is a wonderful thing.
You can save the caterpillars and butterflies and at the same time
you can experience nature's wonders right at home.
Here is how you can make your own butterfly house.
You will need a dainties laundry bag with a zipper and two embroidery hoops.
You will also need a zip tie.
(I picked up all of these things at the dollar store.)
Unzip the zipper on the laundry bag and and place the
inside loop of your embroidery hoop on the inside of the bag.
Push the loop to the top part of the bag. Place the outside embroidery hoop
on the outside of the bag so that it slips over the inside loop.
Now tighten the hoop.
Repeat this proses on the bottom of the bag.
Now you should have a bag with a embroidery hoop on each end.
Place your zip tie at the top of your butterfly house
and it is ready for hanging.
Unzip the bottom of your butterfly house.
Now you ready to explore the garden.
Look for butterfly larva and caterpillars.
Place your caterpillars in your their new home.
Don't forget to feed your caterpillars new food every couple of days.
They have a lot of work ahead of them.
Enjoy watching life transform before your eyes.
Have a wonderful weekend.
