Next super glue the eyes on, then cut your fuzzy sticks to size you want place the fuzzy sticks in the holes you made and bend to your liking. Then cut out tin foil to make the wings and glue in place. Place tea light inside egg wait for dark and light up those fireflies. Guaranteed fun and excitement with this DIY Firefly Craft.
