Supplies Needed for Butterfly Snack Bags


  • Wood clothespins
  • FolkArt Ultra Dye (Colors used here: Purple Rain and Venom)
  • FolkArt Ultra Dye Brush
  • Wiggle craft eyes
  • Craft glue
  • Zip-top plastic snack bags
  • Craft pipe cleaners
  • Grapes and Goldfish crackers

Tools: Scissors

To begin, use the brush to paint the entire surface of each clothespin with the Ultra Dye. Set the clothespins aside to dry completely. When dry, affix two wiggle eyes to the top front of each one.

Helpful Tip: Clip the pins to a piece of cardboard to keep them from shifting around as you work.

For each butterfly snack bag you would like to create, take one of the snack bags and fill half with the Goldfish crackers and the other half with grapes. Zip the top to close.
