Spring Butterfly Mobile

Materials:
*Cardstock in a variety of colors
*Butterfly template
*White paint
*Pipe cleaner
*All purpose adhesive
*Thread
*Hole punch
*Patterned cardstock
*Scissors

Directions:
*Create the desired number of butterflies using the template and instructions from my Spring Butterfly Bookmarks post.  You will need twice as many butterflies as the number you want hanging from your mobile.
*Glue two butterflies back to back, with a piece of string sandwiched between them.  Repeat using the remaining butterflies.
*Cut out two strips of 12 x 12 patterned paper about two inches in thickness.  You can create the scalloped edges by tracing around a rounded object, such as the bottom of the glue bottle, a small drinking glass, or a bottle cap.
*Glue the two strips together to form a ring.
*Punch out holes from the ring and tie on the strings the butterflies are hanging from, varying the height of the strings as you go.
*Punch two holes on opposite sides of the ring and tie each end of a piece of string to one of the holes.  Use this string to suspend the mobile from the ceiling.
