Even now as an adult, there is still something about seeing fireflies in the yard that gets me excited about summer and all the fun that comes with it. Karen, from Crafts-For-All-Seasons.com, has allowed me to share her fun craft to let your Mini Macaronis make their own firefly.

  • One 12-inch pipe cleaner in gold, silver, or black (for the antennae)
