Rubber-band Powered Butterfly

Step 2 Making the frame

First, carefully straighten the clips and measure to find the middle.

Bend one clip to an angle of 90^o - this will support your front wings.

Bend the second clip 90^o as well, but then bend the wire back 45^o on each side of the first bend, making a straight wire with a V notch in the middle - this will support the back wings.

The third clip is much more complicated:

• Turn a small loop in the middle of the wire (I wound it round the handle of a small paintbrush).
• Bend the straight sections so that, when the loop is held horizontal, the straight legs point vertically down.
• Bend the ends of the legs into an L (on the same side as the loop) and then bend the bottom of the L into a small V.

(Check the images to see what I mean.)

for the loop one it is easy to use a safety pin.
