How to make it
1Trace the shapes
Trace 30 butterflies in 3 sizes. Mixing sizes makes the cluster look real.
2Cut them out
Cut slowly around the wings. Smooth curves look better than fast jagged ones.
3Fold the bodies
Fold each butterfly in half down the middle. Open it so the wings stand up at an angle.
4Plan the swoop
Lay them on the floor in a curve, big ones at one end and small ones trailing off.
5Stick them up
Press a pea of putty behind the fold of each one. Copy your floor layout onto the wall.
Glossy or metallic cardstock catches window light and makes the wings shimmer.
