"Now I'd love to make a beautiful butterfly and flatter it all over the place. So we've got a 321 bee body. I've chosen a pretty pink to make our butterfly with and a contrasting color. This will be the wings. I'm going to tie the nozzle with the knot to make a big circle. We'll find the center of the circle and make a figure of 8 shape and twist a couple of times. To make it really secure, we can really just bring it through like that, it acts like a bit of security knot. Now then, let's make the shape of the butterfly wings. So I'm just going to make a little shape of a V, grab it and pull down. Gently to stall it and a little bit more strength, on the top and gently bring it back out again. You might want to do it a second time. If you feel it's not quiet the shape that you want, come down the other side and do exactly the same thing. It takes a little bit of strength, a little bit of effort. Now, come back to our little butterfly's face, make a small bubble and twist a couple of times. Then I'll wrap those pretty wings right into the neck of the butterfly and bring her body down. Now, I think it would be fun to draw a face on our butterfly. So I'm going to draw some pretty eyes. Now because it's a little girl butterfly in pink, I'll add some eyelashes too. Pretty! And the same on the other side. I've done quiet big eyes. I like big open eye effect here. And again little eyelashes and she's a happy butterfly so we're going to give her a happy smile. Now, let's watch her flutter, shall we? There she goes."
