I saw these in a shop the other day and quite liked the look of them. They were, however, a little out of my price range so I decided I would have a go at making my own.
The first step was to find an image that I liked and printed it out so that I had 18 all up, but you can print as many or as few as you like (I used this one, and printed 6 on an A4 page).
The next step is to decorate them. I decided to use watercolour pencils. Turn the paper over so that the outline is on the bottom side and colour over the shape on the top side. Then flip the paper back over and cut the butterflies out.
Get some string or wool and use sticky tape to stick one of the butterflies to it as shown below. Then stick the other one on top of the first one, so that the decorated sides are on the outside.
Repeat this step multiple times until you have finished and then hang them up. I decided to hang mine on the ceiling, although they would look good hanging down the wall as well.
Tip: If you want to hang the butterflies across the wall, then stick them to the string the other way around so that they are the correct way up.
