Felt Butterflies

We took these little felt finger puppet butterflies along to family camp and had fun making them there for the little kids. Picture 2 shows how we twisted pipe cleaners around the back layer of the body to make antenna. After twisting on the antenna, hand sew on the little finger pocket to the back and then sew the front and back together with a running stitch. We used regular thread or 1 strand of embroidery floss. I freehand cut the design holes in the front layer before stitching together. I found the original idea somewhere on a blog, but can't find the link now. It is amazing how many things there are on the internet about felt crafts.
