Going Gold . . .

These little butterflies got a make over. My mom had mailed us decorated gifts for Christmas. These butterflies were on some of the gifts. My daughters and I thought it would be nice if we could hang on to these because they were so cute. 

One of them had lost an antenna and was needing a new one. Going through my stash I found some 26 gauge gold jewelry wire. 

I used a needle to poke at the antenna and slowly work it out without causing damage. Much easier to do than expected. I cut a piece of wire down to size using an old antenna for reference; used Goop to glue down the antennas and magnets to the butterflies; let them sit out to cure for a day or two and that was it. 

The only problem with all this was that my girls and I thought the gold complimented the colors so beautifully that we ended up giving them all new antennas! 😂😂

Here they are . . . .

This was such a simple and fun way to repurpose these butterflies. My parents do not live close to us, so we will be think of them everyday when we see these. 💖
