Use multiple fabric colors or choose an iridescent fabric for a stunning look.The possibilities are endless with three sizes of butterflies made to stand on their own or used together. Step by Step Photo Illustrated Instructions Included.

This project can be done in hoop sizes ranging from 4 x 4 to the 5" x 5" for large butterflies. The bigger the hoop the more butterflies can be produced. However the 4x4 hoop with a dash of patience will give the same result!
