Butterfly Kisses
1. Make a hoop shape from thick wire, such as a coat hanger. Using sticky tape, secure a length of chunky piping cord along the wire to thicken it up.
2. Wrap embellished sequin chiffon ribbon around the hoop until it is completely covered, making sure that the ends meet at the top.
3. The decoration is made up of four clusters in a clockwise arrangement. Tie a swatch of pink striped ribbon in a simple knot to the top right. Thread on a pretty filigree button below.
4. Add a sequin butterfly to the bottom right-hand side of the hoop. Assemble a bouquet of diamanté buttons and flowers, then glue under the motif.
5. Feed on a heart, shell button and beads to they sit left of centre. You can make a feature of the thread, then knot it off at the front as demonstrated with the heart button.
6. Add a blue crystal effect tassel to the top centre, then thread on a butterfly button for extra decoration. To finish, glue a blue chiffon flower at the front to hide the seams of the ribbon.
