Spring Butterfly Bookmarks


     Supposedly there is this thing called "spring" that is on its way.  As a Mainer, I'm a bit skeptical,  *Glances out window to see swirling white oblivion.*  But it sure sounds nice.  Anyway, I guess you're supposed to summon it by bedecking your home in butterflies and flowers and whatnot, so I figured I would give it a try.  I got the idea for the butterflies from this site and thought they would make nice bookmarks.

Materials:
*Solid colored cardstock
*Patterned cardstock
*Butterfly template
*White paint
*Popsicle stick
*Pipe cleaner
*Mod Podge
*Paintbrush
*All purpose adhesive
*Headpin (optional)

Directions:
*Print the below butterfly template onto the sheet of solid colored cardstock.


*Using the "head" of the head pin, add dots of white paint along the edge of the butterfly's wing.
*Set aside to dry.
*Glue on a piece of pipe cleaner to form the butterfly's body.
*Cut out a section of patterned cardstock and decoupage to the popsicle stick.
*Glue the popsicle stick to the butterfly and set aside to dry.
