Butterfly Sun Catchers: Embellishment

Video Transcript

"At this point, your butterfly could be done and it would look great hanging in the window. But I like to add a little bit more creativity, a little bit more flashy, glitter, sequence, whatever you have around the house. So look around. Even tin foil can work for this part of the project. If you want to add some glitter, you want to do some loose glitter, we can add that by putting on some glue. And, at this point, I don't really feel like the butterfly needs to be completely symmetrical. We can just have fun with it. And we can just sprinkle some glitter on. This is only going to add to the reflection and the light coming through. The other thing we can do is add tempura glitter paint. When we apply this, we want to make sure that we are not putting too much on the paper. Little bit too much is going to make the paper warp. And it's going to weigh it down causing a little bit more of a drying time with this. You can see the difference on each side. So we'll keep going. We are going to add, maybe along this side, some sequence. We'll put a glitter background on there. And we're going to dust off the glitter when we are done. So if it gets anywhere else on your butterfly, it really doesn't matter. And we got some sequence here. Putting a dot. If you do one sequence at a time, you don't have to worry about it weighing it down. Just be careful if you're putting a handful down on a bunch of glue. Just like that. If you wanted to add the foil, you could do that with a little bit of glue. Smaller amounts along the sides."
