OK... let me try one more time.

Ha! There we go! Finally!!! OK... I made this butterfly house last year from instrusctions I saw somewhere. You use two embroidery hoops, some netting I found in the fabric area at Wal_mart, a piece of a brwon paper bag, and twist ties.

Stretch the paper bag piece between the two section of one hoop, along with one end of the netting rolled around the inner hoop... (does that even make sense?). Tighten the hoop down. Slip the inner hoop in to the other end of rolled netting, then place the outer hoop on and tighten down to secure. Use twist ties at top to make a loop for hanging, and twist ties at bottom to close. I put cuttings of milkweed in a butter bowl, then place inside the house, and secure the twist ties around the bottom of the milkweed stems.

(Gotta find the rest of my photos so this makes sense...)
