To make this craft, we can make small changes in any of the steps, especially with the butterflies .


First we must decide if we all use the same or more butterflies of a design. Then I leave three designs that seemed suitable for this job. They can choose between them, or can prepare your own pattern.

With the above ready, we can start to work. We choose the length you want for the mobile and thus know how many butterflies we need.

We mark and cut the butterflies and prepare the thick thread the needle. To assemble the different strips of our mobile, we must combine yarn butterflies. This is where we can do it in different ways. First way: pass the thread through the center of the butterflies, knotting under each of them to not move the place assigned. Second way: before moving the thread, make a small fold horizontally in the center of the butterfly , sew each of them and then put them together at its center to assemble the strips. In this way the butterflies will be suspended and the sensation of flying. So as seen in the photograph.

Once selected the shape of each arm of the movable strips, the prepared, fixed to the wooden frame and with the same thread of each of the strips continue towards the top, and tied together and are all set to hang it and enjoy it.


Beautiful is not it?
