You Will Need (4 things)

  • Modge Podge
  • String
  • Frame
  • Paper

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Print and cut-out your butterfly artwork.

  2. 2

    Use Mod Podge, painted over the heavy string (I used quilting thread) to stiffen and bend to create the antennae. Then use a bit of glue to attach to the back of the "butterfly".

  3. 3

    Bend (slightly) the "butterfly" in the middle and attach to the backing paper using a glue dot. Now you're ready to frame it!

  4. 4

    Ready to hang!
