Easy To Make Washcloth Butterfly

I love turning everyday items into cute little gifts. These washcloth butterflies are the perfect example. It is so easy to turn a plain washcloth/flannel into a cute butterfly to add to a gift basket. By just folding the washcloth and adding a pipe cleaner it looks so much cuter than gifting a plain washcloth. In this blog I will show you step by step how to make my easy to make washcloth butterfly.
