To tie all of your Butterflies together, cut one 10" piece and three 6" pieces of Black Trait-tex® Heavy Rug Yarn. Using the 10" piece make a loop off the top of the Large Butterfly for hanging your mobile. Tie the two Small Butterflies, one below the other, to the Large Butterfly with two of the 6" pieces. With the last piece of 6" yarn, tie one end to the bottom Butterfly, add six assorted colored beads and tie a bell to the very end.
