Take a yarn for the body part (as well as antenna). Hold an end of the yarn without cutting it from the bundle. Insert the yarn in the middle of the fork as shown in the picture. Place the yarn carefully making sure it doesn't come out of the fork as we'll work with it later
Now pick a different color for the wings. Hold the yarn from an end and take it through a prong from any one side.
Now weave the yarn over-under around the prongs. Keep doing the same until you weave 4-6 rounds. If you're using thick yarn weave 4-5 rounds but for thin yarns weave 5-6 rounds. After weaving enough rounds carefully push the yarns downwards.
Now take the center yarn (for the body and antenna) and tie 2 knots using both ends of the yarn.
Carefully push the woven yarn out of the fork.
Trim the center yarn to make the antenna.
Also trim the yarn used for the wings. There, done! wasn't that super easy? It's a fun craft and I'm sure you'll enjoy making some!
