I have a pretty

I wanted something pretty for my room and came up with this. 

I was originally going to do some bunting but changed my mind and decided on making 
something using my Xcut Nesting Butterfly dies. 
So I chose the colours I wanted and then set about cutting them out. 


I then poked holes in them in the places where I wanted the thread to hang from. After threading them up I decided I didn't like the way they were hanging so I re-designed it mid threading. I cut the extra butterflies to make it look right and then a second set to stick on the back of them


So this is what I ended up with. Next step was to bling it up and add the emblie


So I added gems to all the butterflies


Including the tiny ones


And here is the finished hanging with the emblie flourish on it
