I bought a bag of white floral wire. I have made several big and small butterflies. I plan to hot glue beads along the wire and make a body out of gemstones and antennae out of the beads that you put on corsages. I got the floral wire from Hobby Lobby for a $1.99

HI Bonnie,
Did you ever get information to make your butterflies? Like many of those giving feedback I am using butterflies at my wedding.

I would like to learn how to make the nylon wire butterfly and the bees. Does anyone have directions, or a site that I can go to for more info?

just attach to metal coat hangers together and put nylon over the metal and attach the handles together with bread twisty ties and you have wings you can mold any way you like and you can use safety pins to pin them to a costume

RE: Making Nylon Butterflies
I've seen wings where they've stretched white nylons over bent wire, then around the edges of the wire to reinforce, they've squirt out that glitter-paint that comes in a squirt bottle (88 cents at Walmart) kind of like "puff-paint" but without the puff! This acrylic paint adds strength PLUS, you can even use glow in the dark paint! ---> You can buy the wire to make butterflies at any craft store in the "Floral Supply" area. They also have a wonderful spray paint that's made to "Spray-Dye" fabric, It looks like it's been "airbrushed".

Great, Lola! Would be easy to make butterfly shapes of the wire.
