A very special greeting my creative people, may God bless you greatly...!! We continue creating beautiful things in fabrics, very happy things because spring has arrived, a harmonious, colorful season that inspires us and brings us endless ideas.
Butterflies are very captivating living beings that cause us to mimic all their characteristics in all their aspects; Many materials such as wood, foam, felt or, in my case, fabrics are ideal for this... I have thought a lot about how to finally end up with my leftover fabric, because the truth is I don't want to throw them away for anything in the world, you can't imagine which is difficult for me to specify something with them, but I enjoy every profitable project and most of all the result of the work... This morning I got to work creating butterflies with magnets to decorate my refrigerator, colorful fabric butterflies, If we think about it, we could give them several uses, they could be pigtails for girls, an ornament for a dress, a blouse, a gift, etc... So if you like them, this tutorial that I show you can be very useful to you. then join me until the end.

(PROCEDIMIENTO)
Paso 01
Step 01
To make these small-sized butterflies, I drew a pattern on a cardboard of two rectangles, one with an average of 8cm long by 5cm wide, then I made curved cuts in the four corners. I also drew a smaller one 6 cm long by 4 cm wide and I also made the same cut in the corners. I proceed to take pieces of fabric, face them right sides, secure them with a pin and place my patterns to trace the outline.
Paso 02
Step 02
I sew on the machine, leaving a space without sewing and cut off the excess fabric. Then I help myself with the tip of the scissors or turn them through the hole, seal that part with sewing and place the smallest piece on the largest, taking into account the center.
Paso 03
Step 03
With my thread and needle, by hand I am going to make a basted seam and we gather both pieces.
Paso 04
Step 04
We cover the center with a thin tape to cover the joint and I am going to glue the magnet to the back with silicone. We combine the fabric colors and we will have beautiful mini decorative butterflies.
Resultado!
I worked on this project with several fabric textures, but I think the ideal one is Micromed, because of its silky and firm texture that makes all the work easier.. But it's just a suggestion, really The thing is that we can make it in many types of fabric, you just have to have a little more patience and delicacy. I took advantage of the fact that I was excited making them and made a pair of school tails for a girl.
