Making a model dragonfly (from the Wildlife Trusts)

To make a dragonfly you will need:

Two 30cm lengths of wire

Two long coloured pipe-cleaners

Two medium-sized beads or buttons

Coloured sellotape.

1. To attach the beads, thread them through each pipe cleaner and wrap the ends back on themselves.

2. To finish making the body, twist the pipe-cleaners together. The beads make up the dragonfly's eyes.

3. Make two sets of wings by bending each piece of wire into a double set. Leave spare wire in the middle. Wrap each wing with cellophane or cover with sellotape and colour in with indelible felt pens.

4. Wrap loose wire from the middle of wings firmly around the body, a quarter of the way along from the eyes to complete the dragonfly
