    Default "tyedye" butterflies

    This is from the SCMA mag

    Use coffeefilters to make butterfly wings, mix a small amount of water with different food colourings, and drip them on, they will spread ( can use a dropper for this, but I guess that using a thin brush and dripping it off end would be as good) colours will spread out and blend together.
    using a wooden clothes peg draw eyes on, and kind of clip the wings into it ( not entirely sure how though!)

    Sounds very pretty and easy to do ( apart from the peg bit!)

    Probably means those "dolly pegs" and you may need glue. Great idea though. Thanks.
