The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
What do you do with 4.5″x6″ scraps? You make origami fabric butterflies!
I found this great free pattern by Michelle Roberts at CreativeBlonde. The instructions have photos to help guide, but I have so much trouble with following diagrams without seeing someone do it. So, I found some different videos on youtube to help me with direction.
This was the first one I made, and it took forever for me to understand the directions. After viewing tutorials, and studying Michelle’s photos, I was able to make three more. I finally got the hang of it by the time I made the fifth one.
Now, what do you do with fabric origami butterflies?
Make Tissue Pouches!
Next month, there will be a wedding in my family. I am known for getting emotional…so I made some tissue pouches. I call them Butterfly Booger pouches.
Then I made a butterfly head band and some hair clips for my granddaughter.
Oh wow, you’re butterflies are beautiful, and so many ways to use them. Thanks so much for mentioning my tutorial 😊 💕 🤗 happy sewing x
Thanks for the tutorial.🦋
You are my crafting hero and just craft non stop, trying out new stuff . I am trying to catch up on the blogs I love like yours and it is so fun to see what you have been up to!
Thank you! I am busy making little stuff so I can get the feel of using my new machine. I need to get started on the quilt for my new daughter-in-law.
I am SO going to make some of those! thanks!
It took me awhile to get the hang of it, but now I can’t stop! Wouldn’t they be pretty arranged on a quilt? The instruction are good, but if you’re challenged with directions like me, there are good videos on YouTube.
i have to try this.
It was fun to make after I got the hang of the origami folding.
