In the last stage I added all the patterns that I wanted on my jewel box and left it to dry.
Although not shown in the photo I have repeated the process on the two side doors and the lid.
Today I have been back to it and given everything a coat of clear satin finish varnish and then left it to dry again.
That will protect everything from some wear and tear.
Tomorrow I will put it all back together and add all the "Bling" that I want to add.
They are about 7cms long but they are much prettier in real life than they look on the photo.
I can add these to cards or any project where a butterfly is needed.
I have curled the antennae from some silver wire, and cut up a small piece of lace that I had in my stash.
It is a good way to use up all your odds and ends and here is a tutorial on how I got the look.
Making Butterflies is the written instructions but I will have a video out soon.
