Butterfly Mobile

Hang a piece of the outdoors inside with this brilliantly colored Butterfly Mobile.


Materials Needed:

Instructions:

1. Create Large Butterfly: Using pattern (Butterfly Pattern.pdf) cut one Large Butterfly Wings from a Yellow Foam Sheet and one Large Butterfly Body from a Black Foam Sheet. Glue Large Butterfly Body to Large Butterfly Wings. Decorate with Peel N' Stick Foam Shapes. Set aside to let glue dry.

2. Create Small Butterflies: Using pattern (Butterfly Pattern.pdf) cut one Small Butterfly Wings out of a Pink Foam Sheet and one out of a Orange Foam Sheet. Use the 1/4" hole punch to punch a hole in the top and bottom of each Small Butterfly as shown on the pattern. Take the the 5 Blue Bright Pony/Crow Beads and glue them to the Pink Foam Butterfly and the 5 Green Bright Pony/Crow Beads and glue them to the Orange Foam Butterfly (make sure the top and bottom beads are positioned over the holes you punched. Decorate with Peel N' Stick Foam Shapes. Set aside to let glue dry.

3. Assembling Your Butterfly Mobile: (Make sure all of your pieces are dry). First use the 1/4" hole punch to punch a hole in the top and bottom of the Large Butterfly body. To tie all of your Butterflies together, cut one 10" piece and three 6" pieces out of Black Satin Cording. Using the 10" piece make a loop off the top of the Large Butterfly for hanging your mobile. Tie the two Small Butterflies, one below the other, to the Large Butterfly with two of the 6" pieces. With the last piece of 6" cording tie one end to the bottom Butterfly, add 6 assorted colored Bright Pony/Crow Beads and tie a bell to the very end.
