Description

Create your own, 3-D mounted butterfly "taxidermy" from handpainted watercolor artwork.

Instructions

1. 

   Print and cut-out your butterfly artwork.

2. 

   Use Mod Podge, painted over the heavy string (I used quilting thread) to stiffen and bend to create the antennae. Then use a bit of glue to attach to the back of the "butterfly".

3. 

   Bend (slightly) the "butterfly" in the middle and attach to the backing paper using a glue dot. Now you're ready to frame it!

4. 

   Ready to hang!
