Carolyn made a butterfly for her 2nd grade teacher as an end of the year present. She looked at pictures of the Blue Morph butterfly on the internet and recreated her interpretation of the butterfly. She needle felted the body and wet felted the wings. I then sewed a barrel clasp into the back so her teacher could wear it or even pin it to a curtain in her house. I also sewed two seed beads for eyes and, believe it or not, a black plastic broom straw for antennae. Her teacher was so touched by the gift that she cried. Mrs. White, her teacher, loves butterflies and her favorite color is blue so this was indeed the perfect gift. A week into summer vacation we go to the mailbox to find a thank you card from her teacher. Carolyn just beamed!
