Start by loading the wing board with the zip ties and closing the ties, but not all the way.
Next, use the rotary cutters to cut 10" squares of your 4- 10" meshes.
Start with the outside row of one of the wings and the black and white mesh. Lay a piece of mesh out and, beginning at one corner, scrunch it up the center. Then fold it in half at the thinnest point and add that point to a zip tie with about an inch going into the tie and the petal parts pointing outward. Secure down the zip tie. Repeat this process for the whole outside row of the wings. Then trim the zip tie ends with the wire cutters.
Next, use the dark pink to make the next row in. Lay the mesh out, fold it corner to corner to make a triangle, then fold each of the side corners down towards the point to make a petal. Hold this in your hand and then make another one. Add the points of each petal to the same zip tie on the outside edge of the row and pull it tight.
Now make two petals with the black and white mesh just like you did in the last step. Add them to the next twist tie in on the row you're working with. Then switch back to the pink for the next tie, skip one tie and repeat the pink.
Now add two petals of the black and white to the next tie, then switch back to the dark pink for the next tie.
For the next row, use the window pane mesh. Fold it corner to corner to make a triangle then do a small scrunch and pinch about 3 inches in from the point. Add one to each of the twist ties in that row.
Go back to the black and white mesh for both outside ties of the next row, making the petals like you did in step 3.
For the next row use the light pink mesh. Make the petals like you did in the last step but make two for each tie.
Next, flip the board around and fill in the other wing just like you did the last one.
Now fill in the center rows with the dark pink, making the petals like you did in step 3 and using two for each tie.
Finally, use hot glue to attach your butterfly body and head to the center of your wing board.
