Hello all! Angelica here with a quick and easy tutorial on making your own burlap butterflies. The March Kit, Salutations, has some pretty unique burlap flower sprays. So, I thought to match I would try my hand at making my own butterflies.
To make the burlap stiff cover in Modge Podge. Let it completely dry. I think you can use a fabric stiffener spray, but I just used what I had on hand.
I used a die cut for my butterflies. You can also hand cut with a template.
Step 3:
For a little more pizzazz, I took some cheese cloth and sprayed with Glimmermist. Let dry. Set aside
Step 4:
For the antennas take floral stamens and bend in half. Ink them up for a darker shade.
Step 5:
Glue to the larger butterfly
Layer the smaller butterfly on top
Step 7 :
Add the cheese cloth
Step 8:
Add your center piece. Here I used the bling that came in the main kit
Step 9:
Using glossy accents as an adhesive sprinkle on some glitter. The will also aid in keeping the edges from fraying.
You can get burlap by the yard at any craft store. Here I cut out a 8 x 8 square.

Love these! Thanks!
Those are great Ang, thanks!
amazing and beautiful Tutorial!!!
I wish I had seen this before I left for our scrapbooking retreat this morning. I showed a lady how to make a flower from burlap, but this butterfly would have been right at home on the pages she was doing!
I'm going to try this one! Thanks for the tutorial!
oh wow! these are amazing Angelica! LOVE them!!!
I'm so glad to find this tutorial!
I did not think to 'stiffen' the burlap with something
first; (before cutting) -thus mine would fray~
Thank you for sharing! Sure hope to try this.
I love ANYTHING made out of burlap - and these are WONDERFUL! Love them!
