Instructions

Bring cord pieces together so they are even. Tie cords together in a knot at one end. Stiffen other ends of cord with white glue. Tie cords together in a second knot 5" down from the first knot.

String beads in the following order. Keeping the cord ends together, string 1 lavender bead and 1 heart bead (top of heart should be facing away from lavender bead). Separate cord. String 1 one purple bead on each cord. Bring the cord ends back together and string 1 heart bead, 1 lavender bead and 1 more heart bead (top of heart should always be facing away from the lavender bead). Separate cord. String 1 one purple bead on each cord. Continue to bead until you have 4 full butterflies between 2 half butterflies (end with light purple bead).

Pull cord tightly and knot cord ends together after the last bead. Knot the ends together again 5" past previous knot. Trim ends of cord close to knot..
