Bring on the Butterflies

Hello, stampers!

Aimee here with a fun little project. 

I hope you find this a unique way to use your rubber stamps!

Here's what you need:

Wire

Beads

Scissors

Shrink plastic

Clear beading string

Super glue

Staz On ink pads

Heat tool

Hole punch

Scrap fabric

Butterfly stamp

 Stamp butterflies onto shrink plastic using Staz On inks. 

Let them sit for a few minutes, then cut them out and punch holes for hanging.

Don't detail cut around the antenna- you need this area to punch a hole.

Use the heat tool and shrink 'em up!

Now, take two lengths of wire, and loosely attaché them to each other 

by twisting them together here and there.

Now, slide some scrap fabric through the wires, knotting in a few spots

to keep the fabric in place.

Cut another length of wire, and add it to the wire/fabric

along with beads. 

 Now lay out your shrink butterflies and some pretty beads.

 Bead 'em up on the clear beading string, leaving a LONG tail at the top.

Be sure to super glut the knots.

 Isn't this pretty! 

Slip the long ends of the bead string into the wire, tie knots, super glue the knots, and trim off.

Cut two more wire lengths and add some beads to each.

Twist the wires together, and attach to each end of the wire/fabric bar by simply twisting the ends

of you beaded wire onto the wire bar.

Here's your wiener!
