Embroidered Butterfly Hanging Decoration

"A simple embroidery pattern to make a pretty hanging butterfly decoration. This is a great embroidery design for beginners as it only uses a few basic stitches. Use an variegated thread to get a colour chance effect without having to keep starting and stopping or a single colour thread. This is a great project for using small scraps of fabric too, as very little is needed to make these pretty butterflies. When they are finished they can filled with pot pourri or lavender to make them scented sachets or with fibre fill to make a simple decoration."
