This is a very beautiful climbing butterfly.
To make this you will require a card sheet, two refills, glue, thread, beads and an ice-cream stick.
Take a doubled-up card sheet butterfly. 
Apply glue and stick on it a colorfully painted butterfly.
Reverse it
Apply glue on one side of the butterfly.
Take two empty ball pen refills and stick them at a slant.
Stick the other half of the butterfly on top.
You will now have two refills sandwiched at a slant between two card sheet butterflies.
Cut the extra refills which are popping out.
The butterfly is ready. 
On its back you can see two refills at a slant.
Take an ice-cream stick and make 6 notches – two in the middles and two each on the ends.
Take a needle with 2-metres of thread and weave it in this fashion.
Take it out from one refill and weave it through the other one.
Tie a bead each on the thread ends.
These beads will act as handles.
Now, tie the other two ends of the thread to the ends of the ice-cream stick.
The CLIMBING BUTTERFLY is almost ready.
Hang the butterfly by the middle loop.
Now pull both beads alternately and the keep the thread tight.
This will make the butterfly climb.
On releasing the tension the butterfly comes own because of its weight.
This is very beautiful butterfly indeed.
