Here's a very simple tutorial you can use for all your Spring gift giving
First gather your supplies:
vintage tags ~ for butterfly bodies
wooden clothes pins in different sizes
stamens
flocking
and assorted vintage wallpapers, and ruffled crepe trims (if you'd like)
You can find a template HERE for the wings and bodies
To make butterflies:
Fold wallpaper in half and cut along open edge, leaving folded edge uncut
Fold stamen in half and glue to top end of clothespin
Cut body from vintage tag or cardstock
Glue body to clothespin, paint a nice layer of craft glue or Modge Podge on body, sprinkle generously with flocking and gently tap off excess
Attach to your May Day baskets, or bottles
a sweet gift welcoming a new baby
