Illuminate your space with The Glimmerwing, a Stringable butterfly that captures the magic of a sunbeam. This design celebrates the simplistic elegance that makes a butterfly seem weightless. The Glimmerwing is a joy to create, and its radiant beauty is a wonderful way to brighten your nursery, bedroom, or creative space.
Backstory: The Glimmerwing is a fabled creature of twilight, said to appear only when the last rays of sun meet the first stars. Born from a dewdrop on a moonpetal, its wings were spun from pure light, scattering tiny rainbows wherever it flew. Crafting The Glimmerwing is a reminder that there's a little bit of magic in all of us, just waiting to shine.

Start Simple...
There’s really no wrong way to Stringable, but endless ways TO Stringable...
To get the hang of it start with something simple, like the star on the right, then let your imagination run wild!
A few tips & techniques
-
Up / Down pattern:
The basic Up/Down pattern. Simply thread up through one hole, down the next, and repeat. To double it up, just reverse it! Tip: Repeat patterns. For instance, in the above example, the Stringer always came up on the left of the first string, and down on the right.
-
Loop the edges:
A very simple technique, simply thread through a hole on the outer edge of your Stringable, loop around the edge, then thread through the next hole.
The top half in the photo above is a single loop, the bottom is a double loop.
-
Up / Down crossover:
For this one, run the string over multiple holes, then preform the Up/Down pattern while crossing over the first string.
The top is a single Up/Down, the bottom is a double Up/Down.
