1. Stamp out 3 identical butterflies on cardstock. Color as desired. Cut out all 3 butterflies. (Figure 1)
   Leave the antennae and body on butterfly #1, fully color in this butterfly, using the most detail.
   This will be the one in the front. You can remove the antennae and parts that stick out of
   the wing area on butterflies #2 and #3.

2. Fold each butterfly in half, right sides together. (Figure 2)

3. Apply double stick tape or glue to the back of butterfly #1.

4. Stick the right wing of butterfly #2 to the left wing of butterfly #1. (Figure 2)

5. Stick left wing of butterfly #3 to right wing of butterfly #1, carefully matching edges. (Figure 3)
   If the edges do not match, carefully trim.
   
   
6. Apply double stick tape or glue to the back of remaining butterfly wings.
   Place finished butterfly onto your card or project. (Figure 4)
   
   
7. Your butterfly will look like it's ready to flutter by, yet it will lay flat for mailing.
