5. Make a second batch of diapers like the one above.

6. Now do it two more times, but use 8 diapers for these. The two batches of 8 diapers are the top part of the butterfly’s wings, while the two batches of 6 diapers are the lower part of the butterfly’s wings.

7. Fold blankets around the outside of each set of diapers (the top two batches together, and the bottom two batches together). Secure them.

8. Cut a length of ribbon and tie it vertically around the “butterfly,” running it right around the middle. Tighten it a bit, and it will sort of squish the diapers inward at the top and bottom in the middle, emphasizing the shape of the wings.

9. Tie the ribbon at the front. That way you can also use it to attach the body of the butterfly.
