Claudia designed this Butterfly Assembly to look like a little
Monarch sitting on flowers. One of the faces of the cycle is a lovely white
flower on a green background.
Zip the Triangles to the Hexes using something sensible. We used
matching beads for our Zips.
In the center, place a Hinge. We like a row of cylinder beads
between two rows of round beads for this. Remember, Hinges don’t have to
extend to each edge.
We stopped a bit short, and got bat ears/butterfly antennae.
