Step 1: Get your copy of Punch Out Paper Jewelry and a clear space to work.
Step 2: Read the instructions, duh!

Step 4: Punch out the black triangle and lace both ends of the black ribbon through it from back to front.
Step 5: Put the black ribbon through the green gem and rainbow-colored shape back to front. Do it on each side of the triangle and leave some room between the punch out jewels.

Step 7: Add the butterfly on top by weaving the ribbon through the holes at each end, and then point the triangular pieces up. Voila!
