DRAGONFLY WINGS



I just had to try Thelma's directions for making dragonfly wings... Check out her tutorial...


I wish I had only used the crystal Angelina , but I added some green and purple and it made it dark and after ironing it didn't show the color...sigh!


Anyway I stuck with it, I used quite a fine wire, (34 guage ) and it was a little hard to keep the shape when I sewed it down... However the first time is always a bit difficult.. I will complete the dragonfly later. .... it is 1 am and my eyes are getting dim!!!!

    Hi Maggie:) Oh how I love your little projects:) I've been so crazy busy at work these days and haven't been around a lot. My teddy bear is about the same size as yours, aren't they cute. Love the book marks also:) Happy summer to you too!
