Ok Ladies...here is the link for the pattern for the butterflies.
http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-to-crochet-butterfly.html
I did change it up. She does the two big parts of the wings then the little parts. I do one big, the two little, then finish with the other big. That way the start/finish is hidden under the body of the butterfly!
Have fun! I've used floss and twine. The twine ones are on my heart layout (the colorful one).
And here is a link for you tube videos -->

Happy crocheting!

Hmmm ... maybe if I played and played and played I could figure one out, they are adorable.

Tania...I taught myself. I bought one of those "teach yourself to crochet" books from Walmart. You do need the smaller hooks for those...and floss...quick and easy!

I agree with Thnia. Those are as cute as could be, but in the time it would take me to teach myself to make them, I could have bought them and scrapped them and moved on to another LO. LOL
