You'll need a ruler, scotch tape, an unused twist tie,scissors and washi tape. This idea comes from Marisa over at Omiyage.
1. Take your twist tie and measure the length - mine is 4.5 inches long. Since we're going to make cute cuts on the ends your washi tape should be longer than the tie by about 1/2 an inch.
2. Put your twist tie length wise on your ruler and put a piece of scotch tape in the middle to keep the tie from moving around.
3. Cover the twist tie with a length of washi tape and try and keep it straight. Washi is pretty forgiving as long as you don't press it down too hard on the ruler surface.
4. Turn the tie over and scotch tape the centre to the ruler again using a tiny bit of tape. Cut your second length of washi and line it up with the washi on the reverse side. Cut off the scotch tape sticking out from the tie.
5. To make the chevron ends just fold the ends together and cut a v from the centre to the end point on a angle.
6, Slide the twist tie into the back of the butterfly and apply some glue to the little triangle on the front to secure the butterfly fascinator.
Just wind both sides of the tie onto a barrette, a ribbon or a head band and you're done.
Happy New Year girls!
