1. Can I use other types of paper instead of vellum?

While vellum is translucent and provides a nice effect, you can use any decorative paper you prefer. Just make sure it is sturdy enough to hold the design.

2. How do I clean the CDs before using them?

Wash the CDs with a mild soap and water solution, then dry them thoroughly to avoid any moisture affecting the glue.

3. Can I paint the CDs?

Yes! You can paint the CDs before adding the wings to give your butterflies a more personalized look.

4. What if I don't have a butterfly template?

You can easily find printable butterfly wing templates online or draw your own!
