My aunt pass away this year and she would make them and put them in the gift basket she made for Xmas. I had them as magnets and some are still around ...somewhere.

Several years ago, I made hundreds of these. At Easter, I added them to the Easter bags my sorority gave to the Salvation Army, and I gave enough to the Ronald McDonald House for each Easter basket to have a butterfly. I heard they were much appreciated.

I think I will be making some of these up for Next Spring. I have began to display little things like these from the window treatments. Last year I had snow flakes hanging at different levels. At Easter time, I had carrot's and egg's hanging at different levels. Butterfly's are super ideal and perfect with the little flowers... that's for next spring. Awesome idea & Thank you... I willl have to book mark this...

You are welcome. I thought the same thing, but I don't have a baby around to make it worth trying. If you make a mobile, I would love to see how it turns out.
