Beautiful Butterflies! XD
I got a really big set of these pony beads a little over a year ago, and I never found anything I wanted to do with them..
My friend made me a lizard mmade of the beads, so I googled other thigs to make and found a picture of this butterfly.
I changed up the pattern a little bit, and ta da! XD
