Butterfly Pattern to print

Directions:
For each butterfly do the following:
Cut one base wing out of yellow felt
Cut one center wing out of blue felt
Cut one top wing out of pink felt
Use a craft stick to spread a thin layer of glue on the outside edge of the yellow base wing felt.
Place blue center wing felt on top of yellow and press together.
Spread some glue in the center of the butterfly's body.
Press the hair pin into place.
Take the pink top wing section and press into the middle of the butterfly on top of the hair pin. Only press into the glue a very small part of the pink wing.
Spread some glue on 3 pom-poms and press into middle of butterfly.
Bend pink wings up against pom-poms.
Let dry.

When dry you can either glue on a magnet strip or a pin.

You can use any color felt you want. See our examples below.(this picture is not very good - better ones will be posted later, at least you get the idea - you can't see the bright colors). We used neon green and neon pink and bright purple for the top wings in the example. You can use either pastel or bright colors
