Sparkly Butterfly Mobile


Beautiful Sparkly Butterfly Mobile

I am thinking this would be GREAT for a baby's room, garden party decor, baby shower, weddings, graduations, adult rooms.... ( I would use it in my room!

Supplies needed:
2 Embroidery hoops. I used 9" and 5"
Acrylic paint
clear thread
Glitter
Cardstock
Hot Glue or Fabri-tac
Butterfly paper punch. I used a Martha Stewart punch


First paint the embroidery hoops (only use the solid ring from the inside of the hoop) and add glitter on the edges. Punch out a LOT of butterflies. I used 4 sheets of light yellow cardstock Begin gluing the butterflies onto the thread back to back, kind of making a sandwich with the thread in the middle. Only glue in the center of the butterfly because you will separate the wings once you are done. Tie the strings of butterflies to the hoops and assemble so it will hang even. Separate the wings and hang anywhere in your house!! You can add beads, pearls, glitter, fancy cardstock and even gems to give it an extra special touch!

Use rainbow colors of cardstock to give it a different look or even HOT pink and black for a sassy feel! Be creative and let your imagination play! 

Thanks for looking and CRAFT ON! ~Deborah @ Market City
