Default Dragonfly

I wanted to show you all a neat little dragonfly that i made.It take just a few minute to make and the kids love them.Carve the body then the wing out of a thing piece of wood. Take the knife and cut the slit on each side of the body for the wings just make sure you drop the wing a little so it will balance right.When you get the dragonfly carved take a piece of wire and put it in the bottom of the dragonfly then bend it till the dragonfly balances.I hope i posted this in the right form.

Nifty little craft that you have there. Very colorful, interesting to observe and I bet they get a lot of questions from observers. Those are neat and thanks for a nice idea!
