Tools: used bottle, stained-glass paints, scissors, wire, small beads.

Bottles are preferable to take with a transparent plastic, on a dark background the colors may not be visible. We remove all stickers and properly we wash it outside and inside.

Draw a sketch of a butterfly on paper.

Now the sketch needs to be transferred to the bottle. To do this, we cut the top part of the bottle and insert our sketch from the inside. You can fasten it with clips or stick it with adhesive tape. Now simply draw a marker or a marker around the outline of the picture.

Next, we process the surface with alcohol in order that the paints better lie down and dry out more quickly.

Let's paint the wings of the butterfly. To do this, we use stained-glass paints. First, draw a black outline, then colorize the wings with colored colors. We leave to dry up.

Now our butterfly needs to be very carefully cut with manicure scissors exactly along the contour.

We bend the wings along the bends along the trunk, and the butterfly looks like a real one.

Take the prepared beads. They can be of different sizes and shades. We string them on a wire and fix them on a plastic base in holes that are drilled with a red-hot silk. Our butterfly is ready. It is suitable as an ornament for a garden or a children's room. If you attach a small magnet from the bottom of the abdomen of a butterfly, you will get a magnificent decoration for the refrigerator.
