How to Make Fabric Butteflies Without Sewing

You will need: organza fabric, fabric scissors, butterfly patterns, candle or lighter, and pipe cleaner.

Simply trace butterfly patterns on the organza fabric and cut them out using your fabric scissors. Then, heat the edges using a candle or lighter to keep them from fraying.

Next, measure the center height of the butterfly and then add the length of an antenna. Double that measurement. Cut a pipe cleaner to that length. Fold it in half, glue the fabric butterfly in between, then twist the ends to make the antenna.

How to Make a Butterfly Costume

Learn how to make a butterfly and butterfly catcher costume with this easy tutorial.

Butterfly Catcher – Net
Take the fake butterflies and the net. Plan how you want the net to look with the butterflies, and make sure they are spaced properly. Once you decide on the placement, glue the butterflies one by one. Hold each butterfly until the glue dries completely. To make sure they won’t fall off, flip the net and apply hot glue to the back of the butterfly. Allow it to dry completely.
Butterfly Catcher – Top and Bottom
To complete the butterfly catcher look, glue butterflies on the hat and cargo top.
Butterfly – Top
Plan the arrangement of the butterflies. Make sure to use butterflies in different sizes and shades to make the top look more interesting. Once you’ve decided, glue them one by one.
Butterfly – Head Accessory
For the hair accessory, glue a big butterfly on the side of a headband.
Butterfly – Full Costume
To complete the look, wear a black skirt, attach the fabric wings to the back of your top, tie an orange scarf around your waist, and wear black heels.
