Step 7.
Cut a strip of adhesive backed magnet material for each butterfly.
The width should be slightly less than the width of the body of the butterfly, and the length at least as long.
Leave the backing paper on the strip for the moment.

|
Step 8.
Turn each butterfly face down.
Hold the magnet strip up to the body and mark a length that will cover just the main part of it.
Cut the strip to that length.

Step 9.
Shape the magnet strip with scissors to fit the body area, and remove the paper backing.
Place the wire piece against the butterfly body as shown.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Step 10.
While holding the wire piece in place, apply the sticky side of the magnet strip to the body. This will attach the wire piece to the body along with the adhesive strip.

Step 11.
Using the round nose pliers, make a spiral at the end of each antenna and your butterfly is all ready for the refrigerator or file cabinet.

Options:
If you have used waterproof inks on your butterflies, you could put them outside in the garden - on metal ornaments etc. The only problem is that the magnet material may not be strong enough and the wind might carry them away. Try attaching one of those tiny “super” magnets with a piece of that redline sticky tape or jewelry cement to make a very strong magnet.
You can also replace the magnet strip with a piece of Velcro tape and the butterflies will stick to fabric or any place you put the other piece of Velcro.
