Create a whimsical felt Monarch butterfly ornament with delicately stitched wings, sparkling sequins, and tiny embellished details. Part of the Cottage Garden Collection, this design is inspired by the Monarchs I’ve loved watching in my garden.

This step-by-step digital tutorial guides you through making your own felt butterfly, from cutting and positioning the tiny orange wing pieces to adding embellishments and joining the front and back with a blanket stitch. Clear photographs and gentle instructions walk you through each stage, while the included placement guides help you arrange the wing pieces and decorate your butterfly.

With soft felt, hand embroidery, and a little sparkle, you’ll create a butterfly full of thoughtful details. Add a ribbon to hang it on the Christmas tree, or display it throughout the year as part of your collection of handmade heirlooms.
