Pony Bead Butterfly

April 2, 2014

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile you may have seen my Button Art (like my Button Owl, Button Penguin, and Candy Corn). I had one more piece of canvas lying around and wanted to make something Spring-y but instead of buttons, I decided to use pony beads! They are cheaper and I already had an abundance of them on hand. I also like that the pony beads are smaller and fit together tighter. This project does take a couple hours but it would be an easy project for older kids and teens.

Materials:
– Canvas art board. Mine is 8×8
– Multi-color Pony Beads. You can find these in bulk at Craftprojectideas.com
– Paint or paint pens/Pencil to draw outline of design

First you will want to find a picture of a butterfly (or whatever animal/shape/object you want) and print it out. I used Google images and searched for “Butterfly Clip Art.”
Use your print out as a template to trace the image onto canvas with a pencil.

Next I used my paint pens to color in the lines. I used paint colors that would coordinate with the beads.
Now get out your hot glue gun and start gluing on your pony beads! I like the way the look when you glue them on sideways (so you don’t see the hole). I recommend outlining each section first and then filling in each section after it has been outlined with beads. I actually enjoyed the monotonous activity of this project. Perfect for a lazy Saturday morning.

When you are finished you might notice a bunch of hot glue strings all over your project.

Take a hair dryer and blow dry it for about 15 seconds. Glue strings will melt away!
I love the texture and the 3-dimensional look of this art. This would be a fun piece for a girls bedroom!

    What great advice, to melt away those glue strings… I love my glue gun, but hate the strings and I was always picking them away by hand- that doesn't really work well, I can tell you….

    لابیاپلاستی چیست ؟ اکثر خانم ها به هنگام صحبت کردن لابیاپلاستی با لیزر مونالیزا در اصفهان در مورد مسائل و مشکلات جنسی و تناسلی احساس راحتی نمی کنند. صحبت کردن در مورد این مسائل همیشه تابو بوده است. یکی از این مسائل که در میان خانم ها بسیار رواج دارد، نارضایتی و یا خجالت از شکل ظاهری و اندازه ی واژن می باشد. بزرگ بودن لب های واژن در هنگام انجام حرکات ورزشی، پوشیدن لباس های تنگ و حتی رابطه جنسی باعث ایجاد ناراحتی می شود. اگر شما هم با چنین مشکلی رو به رو هستید، پیشرفت علوم پزشکی این امکان را داده است تا از طریق عمل زیبایی Labiaplasty این مشکل را برطرف نمایید.عمل لابیاپلاستی چیست ؟ در دنیای امروز علاوه بر توجه به زیبایی ظاهر، زیبایی اندام های بدن نیز به صورت چشمگیر مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. یکی از مواردی که توجه خانم ها را به خود جلب نموده است، زیبایی ظاهری اندام جنسی می باشد. اندام جنسی زنان از قسمت های مختلفی تشکیل شده است. یکی از این قسمت ها لابیا نام دارد. لابیا، یک اندام گوشتی مانند است که از اعضای داخلی دستگاه تناسلی زنان مانند کلیتوریس و دهانه واژن محافظت می کند.در برخی خانم ها به دلایل متفاوتی لابیاهای دستگاه تناسلی بزرگ، بدشکل و بد رنگ شده و در نتیجه منجر به تحریک جنسی مزمن، قابل دیدن بودن از روی لباس های تنگ و حتی عدم اعتماد به نفس حین برقراری رابطه جنسی می شود. در این شرایط خانم ها در صدد اصلاح این مشکل ساختاری بر می آیند. عمل جراحی که به اصلاح این مشکل می پردازد، عمل لابیاپلاستی نام دارد. در این عمل لبه های داخلی و یا خارجی واژن کوتاه شده و اصلاح می گردد.

    Love the idea of using pony beads instead of buttons! Did you try any other shapes? I’m thinking a fish might be cool. How long did it take to find the right bead colors?
