How to Make a Butterfly Costume

Charles' Entertainment Review

A Glance at Westtown

This is a long article about the library. I like reading to kids about younger children. I practice about the book called “Toto’s apple. I sat around the storyteller and see the pictures of the book. “The book was amazing,’’ I said.

“Maybe I’ll go again on Tuesday.’’ I like to teach the kids about learning about the picture of the words. I like to sit next to Hannah at the library and we tell stories about it. We had a lot of fun. It was amazing. Next month, I can read ‘’The night before Christmas’’ by Jerry Smath & Douglas Gorsline and tell them about it. The article is very long.

HOW TO CREATE A BUTTERFLY COSTUME FOR THE ARTS IN THE DARK PARADE

By Linnea, Leona, Alex, Carla, DJ, Candice, Genevieve, Edgar, Ana, Danielle, Camron, Antonella, Osman, Jesus, Lupe, Noemi, Steven, Karen B., Karren F., Suelma, Flo, Leon, & Charlotte

Step 1 - Pick a large piece of thin, flowy fabric (at least 44 in. wide X 67 in. long).

Step 2 - Put the fabric on a table, put the butterfly wing template on top, and trace the template with chalk.

Step 3 - Take the template off and cut the wings out (put heavy books on the wings so the fabric doesn’t move!)

Step 4 - Put tape on the edges of the wings to secure it to your table (pull the fabric tight!)

Step 5 - Draw out the butterfly body, the edges of the wings, and the large shapes inside the wings with chalk.

Step 6 - Draw the shapes that you want on the edges of the wings onto contact paper, cut them out, and stick them on the edges of the wings.

Step 7 - Use watered down black paint to paint over the contact paper shapes, fill in the butterfly body, and paint around the large shapes inside the wings. Then peel off the contact paper!

Step 8 - Mix different colors of watered down paint, and fill in the big shapes! Add pizzazz with white paint, glitter glue, and fabric!

Step 9 - When the wings are dry, safety pin them to the top of your shirt collar, and hold them to see where to cut holes for the wrist ties.

Step 10 - Cut a small hole in the fabric on both sides of the wings.

Put the ripped fabric strips through the holes and tie around wrists.

Get ready to fly with other Envision members on October 21st at the Arts in the Dark Parade!

ROAD WARRIORS I made a toy doll, like a puppet, a hand puppet for Road Warriors. Road Warriors, Legion of Doom.

They’re wrestlers in Wrestlemania. His name is Rocco.

I met Hulk and Animal. I like Animal’s makeup. Ellering is their manager. I like their outfits. They have spikes on their outfits. I like when they’re in Wrestlemania.

My favorite is Hulk Hogan. I ike their theme music, “What a Rush.” I like their belts. My favorite tag team.

I like their performance. Their interviews. I like Ric Flair. I like Sting. I love Sting. I say, “Hi.”

CHARLES' TITLE ENTERTAINMENT REVIEW MATCH GAME Gene Rayburn was the host. There’s a lot of guests. There’s a lot of stars on there. Richard Dawson, Betty White, Brett Somers.

They are my favorite stars. I like all of them. I love the stage. The producers and the writers. My favorite is Betty White. She was on Golden Girls. I like the stage. They make guesses on the board.

They show the cards. Guess who’s on the cards. Gene Rayburn is reading it to them. They play for money. You have to read it to them. Guess who’s on there. Fill in the blank. Guess who’s on the board. Win the money. I like Gene Rayburn’s suit. He’s a nice guy.

A nice person. He’s the regular host. He has a nice wife, Helen Ticknor. She’s proud of her husband. I like the introduction. And the suit. He died in 1999. He was 81.

LYNDA CARTER I say “Hi. Happy Holidays.” I like the plane. She’s in Wonder Woman 1984. I like the costume. She’s my favorite singer. I love her songs. We’ll sing as a duet. I like the lasso. I like her crown. I like the crown.

She’s Miss America. Her sister Pamela is cute. She’s talented.

She’s interviewed on TV. She’s cute. I want her autograph.

She was in Dukes of Hazzard. I like her hat. Her tiara. Happy Holidays to her family, from the Champ.
