Reader Success Story: Monarch Butterflies
Hi friends, Today I have a couple of pictures that were sent to me by Grace, a Canadian Living reader from Malagash, NS. Grace couldn't find the exact materials that were called for in our August craft story, "
Good Migrations," but with a couple substitutions (plastic report covers instead of orange acetate sheets; t-shirt paint instead of the Pebeo Arti'stick), she got excellent results!
Doesn't it look great? Grace also sent me a photo of this "
Red Admiral" butterfly that she found in her backyard. Apparently it was so big and aggressive that it was attacking small birds!
It wouldn't be too hard to alter the pattern on the plastic butterfly to create a (calmer, friendlier) Red Admiral of your own. Come to think of it, you could make a bevy of butterflies in different colours – here's some
inspiration. Thanks, Grace!
