Making Nylon Butterflies

Does anyone know how to make the little butterflies that are in flower pots for decorations? They are made of nylons and beads and also there are ones that made of feathers. Thank you for the help.

I made the outline shapes with craft wire then sewed coloured or pale tights on to the wire. You can also colour the tights with nail varnish to give good markings.
