In honor of our first butterfly sighting of the year, I decided that a butterfly mobile would be the perfect way to celebrate the emerging of our fluttery friends!
You will need a butterfly template which can be found HERE (I found this one doing a search for "printable butterfly templates...if you don't like it, then continue the search where I left off)
Origami paper, wrapping paper, anything with a colourful pattern, and also some solid coloured paper
ThreadThe inside hoop of an embroidery hoop
Tape
Glue Stick
Cut out as many butterflies as you wish out of your patterned paper...using the template butterfly to trace around. Cut out an equal amount of butterflies out of the solid coloured paper.
Cut your thread into various lengths...I did some 36 inches, some 20 inches...a nice variety of lengths is key.
When you have done as many butterflies as you wish, tie your thread onto your embroidery hoop at intervals. Tie four lengths of thread to form a hanger, and hang!
Isn't it gorgeous??!!! The perfect way to honour our butterfly friends...not to mention what a delightful home brightener!!!!
