Summer is coming and so is the buzzing and beauty of dragonflies. Get ready with our simple Craft Stick Dragonflies! This lovely summer craft comes with a Free Dragonfly Wings Template. It can also double as a bookmark, too!
I have to say, we are all quite amazed with dragonflies come summer time. It’s fascinating to watch them as they dance and zoom along the water.
