Instructions:
1. Create The Body: Start by cutting four 1"x6" strips of brown Spectra ArtKraft. Take one of the strips and wrap it around the entire dowel and glue into place. Take the remaining 3 strips and wrap them, one at a time, around the dowel to create the 3 body sections. Cut a 1/4" strip of pink Spectra ArtKraft paper and wrap it around the bottom of the body to create a spiral effect.
2. Give it Sparkle: Put some glue on the top of each body section and sprinkle some Spectra Glitter over the body. Shake off excess glitter. Take some Glitter Dots and wrap them around the bottom of the body. Wrap another strip of Glitter Dots between the 2nd and 3rd body section to give it a little more sparkle.
3. Make it Fly: Using the Iridescent Film glue the bead wire onto the film into 4 wing shapes. Each wing should be about 2"x6" with round ends. Let glue dry then cut around the outside of each wing and glue 2 to the second body section and the other 2 to the third body section.
4. Give it personality: Take your 2 jewels and glue them to the front of the dragonfly for eyes. Take 2 feathers of the same color and cut away all but 1/8" of the feathery part. Glue them to the bottom of the first body section for legs. Finally, take a pearl pony/crow bead and put it on the head end of the dowel. Use an elongated bead and glue at the end of the tail.
