Butterfly Sun Catchers: Drying

Video Transcript

"We've applied the embellishments, the glitter, the sequins, and by this time, we likely have, once we shake off the extra glitter, the backside of our butterfly is dry, what we have now is we have a wet front of our butterfly with all the glue from the embellishments. We want to leave this in a place where it's untouched, maybe a high shelf; up on a table somewhere and we need to leave it drying flat, perfectly flat. And also, out of the sun for right now, because if it's in direct sunlight, on this side of our butterfly the tissue paper and the actual construction paper is going to start to fade. So it will be ready to be displayed in about a couple hours to a day and we'll be able to put it up in the window. What we need to do now, is make sure that we've got all the glitter off, our embellishments are where we want them, our body and antennas are securely attached, and we want to make sure that this back part here is dry, and that we're not laying our butterfly in any kind of glue or pasty area where it may stick down."
