Its my friend Marys birthday on May 20th and I have figured out what to get (make) her. Shes been a really good friend to me and helped me though some stuff so I really want to get this right, so Im calling on the .org for wisdom as I dont have the time to make the mistakes myself.
The idea:

the line down the middle is a wire/string, the balls are butterflies.
I want to cut the butterflies out of wood or cardboard?? then attach them to the wire some how and paint them. (painting before attachment)
It would hang down the side of a door.
Hopfully that makes sence. I only have 20 days to make this, so ive got abit of a time limit!
I think it would be better to make it out of wood, but I dont have access to cutting tools. Painting and varnishing would be simple enough.
Help me please!!
Thanks
