Ingredients
- 1 black blouse
- 1 black skirt
- 1 crinoline for adding volume
- 4 orange sheets of cardstock
- 4 black sheets of cardstock
- 1 sheet of white cardstock or a white marker
- 1 headband
- Scissors
- Silicone glue
- Sewing thread
- 1 wooden hook or wooden support piece
- Cardboard
Instructions
- Cut and decorate the paper butterflies.
- Cut butterfly shapes from the orange cardstock. Use black cardstock to add contrasting sections, then add white details with small pieces of white cardstock or a white marker.
- Decorate the blouse.
- Arrange four butterflies on the black blouse. Add two cardstock wings at the upper edge of the sleeves, one wing on each sleeve.
- Secure the decorations with silicone glue or sewing thread.
- Add volume and decorate the skirt.
- Place the crinoline beneath the skirt. Arrange twelve paper butterflies across the skirt fabric and attach them.
- Make and attach the large wings.
- Cut two oversized wing shapes from cardboard. Decorate them and attach the wings behind the blouse.
- Decorate the headband.
- Arrange five wooden supports in a fan shape on the headband, attaching one paper butterfly to each support.
- Do a full fitting and make final adjustments.
Notes
Test your adhesive on a hidden part of the fabric first. If worn for a long time, sewing the skirt butterflies on may be more secure than using glue alone.
