Title: Butterfly Murrini...... what am I doing wrong??
Post by: Fruddy on June 16, 2011, 09:21:37 PM

I've bought some tiny little butterfly Murrini from Tuffers and I had a go with them tonight, but I am clearly doing something wrong.

How are you supposed to apply them without smearing the design??

I warmed them, then applied them to my bead and heated them gently, but when I tried to press them gently into the bead, the wings smeared.

Am I just being too impatient?

Any tips gratefully received, I don't want to waste anymore!

Thanks guys.

Thankyou for this link Rachel,

I messed up a Toucan, I nearly cried as he looked very sad indeed with his deformed beak and legs ::)

Shall watch this again later
