Pipe Cleaner Dragonfly Craft
Today we’re sharing a no muss, no fuss kind of craft. This super simple and so cute Pipe Cleaner Dragonfly Craft is definitely a craft for everyone. There’s barely any glue and not even any cutting involved!

I recently got into the joy of washi tape. And when I saw all the washi tape colors in my new craft set, I immediately thought of dragonflies. That’s probably when you know you’ve been crafting awhile. We had a lot of fun, though, with this quick and easy craft.

Dragonfly Pipe Cleaner Craft
To make our pipe cleaner dragonflies you will need blue cardstock, a white paint pen, pipe cleaners, small googly eyes, glue, and washi tape.

Washi Tape Dragonfly Craft Supplies Needed
- Blue cardstock
- White paint pen
- Pipe cleaners – assorted colors
- Washi tape – assorted colors and patterns
- Googly eyes, small
- Glue
Pipe Cleaner Dragonfly Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin this craft with a full sheet of blue cardstock.

Now, take a white paint pen or chalk marker and draw cloud shapes on the blue cardstock.

Next, grab a pipe cleaner in your color of choice. Make a circle with the pipe cleaner on end and twist to secure in place.

Then, place the pipe cleaner on the blue cardstock.

Gather your washi tape colors. You will need 2 different colors and patterns for your dragonfly. Rip off a piece of washi tape. You’ll want it about 4-5 inches or so. Place the tape at a slight diagonal across the pipe cleaner.

Do the same with the other piece of washi tape, going across the first piece of tape for wings.

Finally, glue googly eyes in the center of the pipe cleaner circle, on the cardstock background. Or, use self-adhesive googly eyes for a completely glue-free, scissor-free craft.

So fun, so quick, and so simple! We had a lot of fun with this craft, it was just what our afternoon needed.
