Supplies:

  • provided pattern of butterfly and picket fence
  • 8.2 x 6 in sand-colored cardstock
  • white sugar paper
  • black sugar paper
  • Pilot silver marker pen
  • 3 pink paper flowers
  • 3 small pink flat-sided rhinestone beads

  7. Use the Pilot silver marker pen to add some detail to the butterflys wings.
  8. Trace and cut the butterfly from the black sugar paper. Cut out the inside of the butterfly's wings, so that you will be left with only a skeleton of the black butterfly.
  9. Black outline of butterfly.
     
  10. Glue the butterfly skeleton on top of the white butterfly. Do not glue it down completely ~ only affix the black butterflys body to the body of the first. The wings must be loose and be able to move.
  11. Use the Pilot silver marker pen to add the butterfly's antennae.
