I learnt to make these years ago at a scrapbooking class that I used to go to (before I had children) and they are great for putting on birthday cards.
or on hair clips or anything else that really needs a beady butterfly.
I tried to do a tutorial but my camera and my shaky hands were just not up to the job so check out Pintrest for some mind blowing inspiration by searching on 'seed beading' I really like this but my language skills are not up to it, however, I think you can work it out from the picture.

You know when you read something on a blog and it makes you think of something similar in your own life, well I read Chrissies lovely post where her children had left her cute notes all over the house then by chance I got one...the very next day...I think mine has darker undertones!!
We had argued about school PE pumps and this was a sorry note. The teacher in me just wants to add some commas, but it still made me smile.
Happy Crafting Jo xx
The butterflies are lovely! What a cute little note too.
