Wildfire Publishing Fluttering butterflies - DIY

White painted twigs adorned with colourful butterflies makes a lovely festive table display. For some subtle bling, sprinkle paint with glitter while it is still wet.

Materials

Dried twigs; white acrylic paint; selection of butterflies, sticky glue dots.

How to create

Paint the twigs – you may need more than one coat.
When dry, arrange in a glass jar, vase or any other decorative container. Use decorative stones to hide the ends of sticks and to add weight to prevent the vessel from toppling over.
Attach the butterflies to the branches with sticky glue dots to complete the arrangement.

Large butterflies available from www.feather.com.au

Small butterflies available from www.wedding-station.com.au
