  <materials>&lt;p&gt;You will need...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-two pairs of buttons, one pair slightly larger than the other&lt;br /&gt; - some colourful felt. Any felt will do for the decorative detail but thicker/stiffer felt is better for the main butterfly shape - if you're worried about your felt not being sturdy enough, just add an extra layer between the front and back piece.&lt;br /&gt; - matching sewing thread&lt;br /&gt; - a brooch back or safety pin&lt;/p&gt;</materials>
