Crocheted butterflies: how to use them?

Dear users, dear authors,
on Facebook, a lady asked me what she could do with about 24 crocheted butterflies. Do you have any ideas?

They’d be great for a pennant garland… instead of pennants, just use the butterflies…

Yes, either hang them from left to right, or maybe from top to bottom as a mobile

Or attach wooden skewers and use them as flower picks / give them away as gifts. 

As appliqués on kids’ T-shirts or in a frame as a 3D picture…

It depends on how big they are, but I could imagine making a mobile. Hang them on a natural branch with pretty, colorful ribbons—on the patio so the wind can make the butterflies flutter, or in the entryway. You could also use them to decorate gift wrappings. Or turn them into a lantern by gluing them to the outside of a glass jar and placing a mini string of lights inside. I could also imagine making flower picks out of them. Attach them to a curtain with safety pins if it fits
your decor style. Best regards and have a wonderful weekend, Josefa😀 

It’s great to see you all have so many ideas.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

Here’s what comes to mind:

• necklace pendants
• dangling earrings, if they’re not too big
• brooch
• bookmark—perhaps several butterflies sewn together in a row
• attached to a hairband / headband
• appliqué for a towel

It really depends on the size, but I could imagine them as appliqués on a jacket—even for adults. Which luxury brand had that blazer covered in butterflies a few years ago? Prada? Versace? I have no idea, but you saw it in every magazine for a while.

Hang them on flowering branches (Easter branches). 

I can also easily imagine using butterflies as spring table decorations.

I’ve also given away a larger butterfly in a frame and decorated greeting cards with little butterflies. For a golden wedding anniversary, I wrote a poem, glued it onto gold photo cardstock, and attached butterflies to the outside.

Recently, I saw a photo of a crocheted curtain made entirely of flower chains. Butterflies would work great in that, too.
For a birthday coffee party, I crocheted little butterflies. I scattered them across the table as decorations, and the guests were allowed to take them home.
