Today's outfit was pretty much built around a set of 3D butterfly stickers I found at a locally-owned dollar store. They were meant for scrap-booking but, since I don't own a scrap book, I was determined to turn them into something else I could use and admire - as per usual, I wanted something I could *wear.*

It's a super cheap and easy process, and it won't stand the test of time or grabby toddlers, but I am quite happy with the result.

1) Select 3D butterfly sticker.

2) (Optional) Cut off the holographic foil portions of the butterfly sticker. I left this part on for the first pendant I made, then cut it off for the second, and I think I prefer the look of it *without* the foil.

3) Stick the butterfly onto clear plastic front of sticker package.

4) Snip off the portion of packaging with your butterfly so it is small enough to accommodate a hole punch. Punch a hole in the plastic where you'd like to attach a jump ring later.

5) Cut out the plastic in the shape of your butterfly. Make sure to cut just a smidge larger than the butterfly so that you have a thin, clear border. This will help keep the sticker from curling up at the sides when you handle the pendant.

6) Coat the bottom layer with clear nail polish. This will help keep the sticker attached to the plastic and prevent it from peeling off.

7) Attach your jump ring and slide the new pendant onto a necklace!
