Ribbon Butterfly Tutorial

#4113

Finished butterfly. You can add flower "Stamen" to create the antennae. They can be found in the floral dept at craft stores or arnies has some now.

 

I didn't have any when I too the photos, but you just fold the stamen in half, give it one twist to hold it together better, and glue dot it to the back of the butterfly and then another glue dot to attach them to your cards.

 

Here is an example of the finished item.
