- 1). Prepare your workspace by placing a drop cloth over your table and laying out your supplies.
- 2). Twist and bend the hanger hooks, applying pressure where the hook meets the twisted wire on the hanger, until they snap off.
- 3). Place the two hangers side by side, overlapping the twisted wired section of both hangers on top of each other. Cut a piece of duct tape about 6 inches long, and wrap the duct tape several times around the twisted wires to attach the two hangers together.
- 4). Bend the wires, on each side of the wings, into the shape of a butterfly wing. Refer to a photo of a butterfly for reference if necessary. Bend the shapes to match on each side.
- 5). Cut the legs off of the tights. Pull the opening of one leg over the bottom of one wing, pulling it taut, with the foot of the tight covering the bottom of the wing. Pull the tights over the top of the wing, and down to meet in the middle where the wings are attached. Repeat this step for the other wing.
- 6). Pull the tights snugly into the middle on both sides and cut off excess fabric, leaving about 3 inches of excess. Tie the pieces of excess fabric together twice to form a knot.
- 7). Cut two pieces of the tights fabric, from the excess you cut off the legs, to about 3inches in width. Pull one loop of fabric over one wing, first over the top and then the bottom. Repeat this step for the other wing. This will create the arm loops for wearing.
- 8). Cut back the stems on the silk flowers, and glue them on with the glue gun to cover the knots in the center.
- 9). Paint swirl and dot patterns with water-soluble glue, and sprinkle glitter over the glue while it is still wet. Once glitter has been applied to both wings, tap the bottom edge of the wings onto a table to remove the excess glitter. Allow glue to dry thoroughly for at least four hours.
