Trace around pattern pieces onto the copper sheet using a stylus and cut out.

Place the copper onto a metal baking sheet. Heat each of the pieces with a heat gun to create a patina finish. With prolonged heat in one area the copper will turn orange, then rust, then red, then blue, then gold. By moving the heat gun around, you can create some unusual patterns of color. Let the copper cool, then continue with project.

Trace the body and wing brace patterns onto the tape sheet and cut out. Remove the white liner and adhere the tape to the wrong side of the copper body and wing brace.

Remove the red liner from the wing brace and apply a wing to each side of the brace.

Cut and fold an 8-inch length of copper wire in half for the antennae. Make a small spiral at each end of the wire. Adhere the folded portion of the wire to the wing brace between the upper wings. Remove the red liner from the body and adhere into place over the wings and antennae. Press to secure.

Cut a 1-inch x 2-inch piece of copper and wrap it around the end of the wire rod, forming a tube. Remove the tube and squeeze one end flat with pliers. Glue the tube to the back of the Butterfly wing brace using E6000 glue. Let glue dry completely.

Free form the wire rod into desired shape.
