Instructions:
Step 1:
Place the two fabrics on top of each other with the right side down. Then using a pencil mark an opening on one side of the fabric. Next, sew the edges together and leave the opening. Once done cut the corners and pull the right side out. Use a pencil to straighten the corners. Then press down using an iron.
Step 2:
Sew all of the edges, then fold the fabric in half twice. Open one corner while holding the other corner making a triangular shape. Do the same to the other side. Now it will look like a triangle with 2 rectangle ends. Fold the rectangle on the right down and sew on the middle. Repeat the process to the other left side.
Step 3:
Flip the butterfly and fold the triangular tip on the bottom until the horizontal line of the fabric. Then sew it to secure. Next, get a thread and needle and sew a bead on the tip. Make as many as you can, and use different fabrics and bead colors for variations.
