20min craft project!

Beautiful hanging Butterfly décor -
Sweet and easy!


 
Materials needed
  • 4lb test fishing line
  • Large sewing needle
  • Butterfly accents ( I purchased mine at Michaels)
  • 2 medium size clear beads.
  • Hot glue gun.
How to
Start by threading your needle with the fishing line and cut the desired amount you would like for your décor. I did 1.5 feet. After snipping off the line tie one clear bead to the end as a weight. To ensure the bead stays put add some hot glue to both ends of the bead where the line has gone through. Next, string your butterflies! You need to go through the bottom of your butterflies as you have already tied and glued the bottom. After stringing your first butterfly through, you will notice it doesn’t stay put - to attach the butterfly to the string simple put a splotch of hot glue on each side next to the fishing line. Repeat until you are satisfied with the length (make sure you leave yourself enough room at the end to tie and make the loop). Once you are done cut the needle off and tie the remaining bead to the end. This time you will need to make a loop at the top for hanging!

This is such a beautiful way to celebrate spring or fancy up a little girls room in under 20mins!!
