Stained glass butterfly

One of the favorite and most common decorations for bedrooms and living rooms is butterflies. Beautiful butterflies can be created from old plastic bottles and painted to your liking or in harmony with the color of the wallpaper and home decor.
For crafts you will need:
1. A plastic bottle.
2. Special paints - acrylic.
3. Sharp small scissors.
4. Beads and wire.
5. A sheet of paper with a marker or a small butterfly template.
6. Hot melt adhesive.
At the first stage, you need to draw and cut a butterfly. It can be any size, but the wingspan should not be larger than the circumference of the bottle.
Cut a narrow part from the bottle, you will need only a smooth part of it.
Use the adhesive backing to secure the butterfly to the inside of the plastic bottle. Try to straighten all the wings so that the halo of the insect is easier to outline and decorate.
Squeeze the paints into the palette. You can use ready-made colors or create others by mixing, for example, pink is obtained from red and white, etc. Use a thin, soft brush to outline the outline of a soaring insect. For convenience, you can first paint one side of the wings, and then display the pattern on the opposite side. Each line contour is drawn in black paint.
First paint the inside of the upper wing. Then, apply paint to the rest of the pieces and start decorating the lower wing.
It is important that when using these paints do not add a lot of water, otherwise the contours will spread out.
When the paint dries, apply dots with a contrasting shade, they will give a greater resemblance to a live insect.
Next, decorate a second pair of wings on the other side and let the work dry well.
At this time, the body of the butterfly, the head and the antennae gather from the beads. As a result, this should be the middle:
Butterfly needs to be cut, be sure to repeat the wave of wings, and do not cut in a straight line.
The resulting workpiece will curl inward in the form of a tube. To make the wings flutter, rotate the insect model in the center and the wings will take the desired shape.
Lubricate the middle part of the butterfly with hot glue and immediately glue the "skeleton" of the beads. Then hold it firmly and let the glue dry.
The butterfly is ready. It can be pinned with a needle to wallpaper or fixed on flowers; the butterfly looks great on a wall clock or room ikebana.
