I had this old frame that I spray painted white. You may use paintbrush or foam brush for a distressed textured look as well.

With the other frame I made this dry erase list board.

Nylon butterflies material

You will need the following material to make stocking net butterfly:

• nylon (stocking net)
• #24 gauge wire
• rings size (1) and (2) (you can also use anything round with diameters 1 or 2 inches)
• nylon thread
• plier
• beads
• scissors

Make Nylon butterflies

• Wind the wire around the rings. Twist at the end and cut the excess with the plier.
• You will need 2 wings size (1). And 2 wings size (2) for each butterfly.

• Next wrap the wire in the stocking net. Gather at an end and thread it. Cut the excess of net.

• If you are new to nylon crafts. You can find complete details about material over HERE. A complete basic tutorial over HERE.
• To make the butterfly. Thread the two similar pairs together. Then slip the smaller pair of wings inside the bigger ones. And thread them together tightly.

• Open the wings and shape it to complete your butterfly.

• Now flatten the wires on the back and cut out the excess.

• In the same way make 8 more colorful butterflies.

• Now arrange them on the frame.

• To make the body of the butterflies, I used stamens.
• You can also use beads and pipe cleaners.

• Hot glue the stamens on the butterflies.
• Then hot glue the butterflies on a piece of paper.
• I used a green polka dots paper. I like it as the background of my frame.

I think it was fun.
