Step 12

When the antennae are dry, give your butterfly a little shine.

Start by brushing a little bit of Diamond Glaze on one side of the butterfly, front and back.

 

 

 

Step 13

When the Diamond Glaze has dried on one side, brush the other side too (always front and back).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 14

And voila, here is your little shining butterfly!

It should stand by itself, if it doesn't adjust the length of the legs with a pincer.

 

 

Step 15

You can make it the size you prefer, smaller or bigger. You only have to change the size of the legs.

If you are not sure about the size, always cut them longer and then adjust the size with your pincer.

 

 

 

 

Step 16

For a more sparkling look you can add some glitters before the Diamond Glaze dries.

 

 

 

 

Step 17

You can also have some fun attaching little butterflies (without legs) to small dioramas or terrariums. They are perfect on very small toadstools!
