Make a… cocktail butterfly

Step 1

STITCH your butterfly onto perforated paper, taking care to finish your thread ends by running them through the back of your stitching. You will need to stitch two butterflies to make the finished design double-sided.

Step 2

CUT around the butterfly, leaving one blank square of unstitched paper outside of the stitching. The red cutting line on the chart, which is in the middle of the butterfly, needs to be cut with small, sharp scissors on the red line only – do not remove the unstitched area completely or the butterfly will not stay on your glass.

Step 3

USE double-sided tape to join the two butterflies together, taking care to match the edges. Push the point at the centre of the butterfly backwards, and then use this to slip over the edge of your glass.

For a different twist, stitch your butterfly onto plastic canvas and use to decorate a cocktail stirrer
