Tutorial - Butterfly Circles

I've been having a lot of fun playing with the 'Cocktail 5' paper line recently. The above LO features an enlarged version of the Make and Take I did at the Hobby Show and uses Margarita, Gimlet and Mohito. Here's a quick 'how-to':

1. Using circle punches, a circle template or circle cutter, cut 3 circles of equal size from co-ordinating CS and PP. Ink the edges of each circle using a darker co-ordinating ink. Here I used the NT Circle Cutter (IC-1500P) available from Art & Craft DUO.

2. Cut your photo slightly smaller, ink the egdes and adhere to one of your paper circles.

3. Join the 3 circles together using eyelets or even brads. Here I used jumbo eyelets from We R Memory Keepers, available at Scrap the Planet.

4. Fold a scrap of PP in half, trace the butterfly template and cut out. Please enlarge or shrink this template to get the size of butterfly you wish to use.

5. Before attaching the eyelet or brad to the butterfly's head, twist a length of beading or craft wire around the back to make the butterfly's antennae. Attach, then curl the ends.

6. Adhere the butterfly to one of the circles. Decorate the other circle as desired and add to a LO! Here I wanted to add some sparkle so I covered the butterfly in Clear Sparkle embossing powder - hope you can see it in the photo?!? In real life it is VERY sparkly!
