You're welcome Sheila I hope they sell for you. I sold a few when I had my stuff at a consignment shop. I think they are pretty and light looking. A breath of spring.
Sara was moaning yesterday that the one she had on the fridge has disappeared so I suppose I need to make her another one! LOL

what a wonderful treAT. At I wasn't where this was going with the adorable template,especially when you were laying scraps of color around. But once I saw how this was coming together, I love it. I have a template that was made for the center bofy of a butter fly, could that be used in place of the the wires? I think, even without batting, these would adorable aplaques on a pretty garden group.
thank you. blue

Feel free to use them any way you like! The basic idea can be adapted to alot of differant uses. I just love butterflies! If you are going to applique you can sew on the antennae instead of using wire.

Sheila Elaine, do you still make Auburn Scrub Hats? My 11 yr old GS in CT is gaga over Crimson Tide and sounds like something he would like. Thanks, Margaret

Sawsan I glue the magnet on the back. I have never put it inside. I think that would be hard to do. But I have never done it so I guess I really don't know.

Take a look at the pictures in the lesson. All you need to do is draw a half circle and draw a line from one side to the other with a couple of humps or hills in the line. then trace it off onto cardboard and you have a template. It is easy to do!! I like to have the bottom side of the wing to droop somewhat to create that tail like effect to the wing but you don't have to do that.
