I make spring-like butterflies?
To make butterflies, two differently coloured chenille wires are bent in the middle and then twisted together twice. The upper ends are twisted into feelers. If necessary, shorten the two lower ends a little bit - the wire body is ready. For the butterfly body cut out the template and glue it together. Clothes pegs are glued to the back of the wings, these are later used to easily attach the butterflies to ribbons, flower arrangements or similar. The wire body is glued to the wings and the lower ends are wound into small wire circles. A few Wobbly eyes are attached to the Chenille wire . The butterfly can now be decorated individually, e.g. with small dots or other lovely details.

?

How do I make the Easter basket?

The template for the Easter basket is transferred to light green Coloured paper The flowers are punched out with a Craft Punch with flower motif. Flowers in different colours and sizes are suitable for a particularly spring-like design. The flowers are glued together. The grass for the basket is now also glued together, the handle is also glued to the grass, so that a basket is formed. For a good stability the handle is glued as deep as possible in the basket. The basket is decorated with the flowers and filled with decorative grass. How are chickens and chicks made? The first step is to transfer the pattern to Coloured paper and glue it together. For the legs Satin ribbon is cut to size and fixed on the back with Handicraft glue . The ends of the satin ribbon cuts are decorated with a Pearl as foot. To do this, simply attach a knot under Pearl . glue Wobbly eyes and Feathers and punch a hole through the top of the head with a punch. A hanging ribbon can be attached here. How do you make the flower? The pattern is transferred and cut out. The large flower is the actual flower, the small flower should be made in green Coloured paper . Then the Paper is folded accordingly. The small flower is now placed over the large flower and a hole is punched in the middle of the superimposed flowers. Green Chenille wire is threaded through the hole. At the inner end of the Chenille wire Satin ribbon is knotted and at each end a Pearl is pulled up and fixed with a knot. Above the flower, another Chenille wire can be formed into leaves.

How are the paper balls made?

To make the paper balls, Coloured paper is cut into 1.5 cm wide strips on the long side. The Paper strips are now punched at the ends and in the middle
Now double Satin ribbon and thread a Pearl at each end and fix it with a knot. Then make a knot in Ribbon in the desired length (about 10 - 20 cm above the ends with Pearl) and thread the strips in the middle hole and fix them with a knot. About 10 cm above that the strips are threaded into the outer holes and fixed with knots above. The Paper strips have to be straightened a little bit to get a nice Paper-egg

How do you make the flower tendril from Felt?

Loosely wrap the created Chenille wire-skein with light green Chenille wire . Form always times individual sheets and bloom styles.
