How To Make Giant Butterfly Hair Clips

This project started out as an experiment to see what I could make using one wire hanger as a base. I started by unbending the corners of the hanger to form a large loop. I then measured the circumference of the hoop and divided that in half to get the two halves with my butterfly. The hub part of the hanger was used to form the base of the butterfly's body after that, it's just a matter of bending and forming the wire until vaguely resembles the butterfly. This took me quite a while, and it left my hands a little bit cooler. If you are thinking of trying this project and didn't mind spending a little bit of money, I suggest getting a lighter gauge wire so that it's easier to form. I chose to use wire hangers because I'm cheap, the Murphree, the wing coverings, are made out of a nylon stock cut in half to form the two thousands of butterflies selling, the stretchy, delicate material of the nylon stockings to be a little bit tricky. And since I needs to fill in with my projects around four inches from my nose, it was especially challenging for me to fill this part. I stretched the stocking over the wire frame and then ran a running stitch along the opening of the stocking and cinch it down to secure it. Sometimes when you have deep, curves or divots in the shape of your way, the stocking conformed in the webbing appearance. That'S not really what I'm going for is so I sew the stocking down to the wire frame using a whip stitch. The Finnish appearance isn't perfectly smooth, but it's the best. I could Vantage of the time I tend to start by painting the perimeter of the wings to disguise the appearance of the wire when painting the veining and edges of the wings. I tend to keep the consistency of my paint quite thick to prevent it from bleeding across the material. Oh, Oh, oh I made a boo-boo and I don't know how to fix it, and I'm very depressed. Symmetry is a learn from my mistakes. Please always be careful with burning objects. On another note, I was quite ill while I was working on this project. Hence the squeaky cry of despair, still a little bit sick. Actually, unlike the stick paint I used for the lines, i watered down the paint for the color of my wings quite a bit, but it would spread easily across the surface. It can look a little bit blotchy at first, but if you gradually keep adding sheer layers of color eventually it starts to come together. The entire process is a lot more about patience, and it is about skill that says this was kind of a time-consuming project. Next, I added Twitter. I prefer to suspend my glitter and glue so that it's a little bit less messy while I'm working with it and it's much less likely to shut off later, how much Twitter's too much glitter, I think a personal choice. Clearly, I don't know who's installed. I use yarn to bulk up the body of my butterfly gluing and wrapping until he was sufficiently chubby. I used a really ineffective angle to show me bluing on the little plastic airline, but trust me, that's what I'm doing. I painted the body of my butterfly with a mixture of glue black paint and glitter, because I thought it would create an interesting texture and add durability. Lastly, I glued on a hair clip with some incredibly toxic smelling adhesive. The clips were a bit larger than I would have liked, and I wasn't sure which position to Groo it on in instinct. Told me this way, but I won't know until later. If that was the best idea.
