Happy yo share the how, to find a picture of
a butterfly you like. Print it up on cardstock,
let the ink dry for a while, so it does not smear. Use white glue and outline the outer shape, and the inside lines. Cover with glitter
and tap off the excess let dry. Put glue in between the veins and add glitter in your choice
of color. I used a small strip of rhinestones
for the body, beads or pearls can be used. Cut
out with scissors and add a antenna made or wire.
I used crystalina instead of glitter on the
outline so some of the black would show thru.
Hope you enjoy playing with making butterflies.
There is a local artist who uses the glue to
make the canyon walls, trees and other items on
canvas lets it dry and then paints. Its a fun
craft to try. Enjoy

Very pretty! It reminds me of the pop bottle butterflies that used to be popular.

Thanks for the directions, so much appreciated. I make some by stamping a butterfly then chalk for color and then pour utee on top and shape as it starts to dry.
I will give yours a try. thanks again.
