Making stocking cloth butterflies pattern

Hi friends, back with a new butterfly. I hope you all got it. My earlier post got a little butterfly with yellow wings, that was my first try in making a stocking butterfly which came out good but was not that neat and perfect as it need to be.

So here is my second try on making a stocking butterfly which was actually a perfect one and a neat one compared to the first, so i am much more happy in making this cute little white butterfly.

So here is my new butterfly with small little round wings and cute little orange body with aluminium wire antenna fixed to it.

You can fix this anywhere on your room or make cards or to gift boxs or anything.
How is my new butterfly? Do comment friends.

How to make stocking butterflies

Friends here I'm back with a new post and that too not about quilling craft, this is stocking craft. I have earlier done a post on stocking flower Flower Making - Colourful Stocking flowers, you can check to know the making of stockings.

In my post Flower Making - Colourful Stocking flowers you can learn the proper technique and also the instructions will be much easier for you all to try out new techniques in stocking craft.

So here is tried out making a stocking butterfly. As this was my first try in making butterfly I'm very much happy with the results. You need to use the same technique as of stocking flowers. Aluminium wire needs to be turned into butterflies wings shape as needed.

I'll be posting more butterflies of different varieties and will be sharing with you all. I hope you all will like this one, awaiting your valuable comments and suggestions.

This is my stocking butterfly. How is it ?
