    Are they not just peel offs glittered up?

    They look like peel offs to me as well or maybe made from wire

    They look.... bought :) Sorry :)

    That or you will need a cricut type machine and the right cutter...
    You might be better off looking for some on Ebay already cut if you're not looking to spend a LOT of money :)

    They're peel offs against black card. Dawn Bibby used to demo them on QVC. There may be a video on you tube somewhere.
  • Yep, peel offs!

    Do you know what brand these peel offs are, are they already glittered, or how would you do them, is it just glitter glue.

    I'm new to this crafting lark so apologies if these are silly question
  • Looks to me like a die called 'Vivienne butterfly' by Memory Box.

    If you have a cutting machine you could use glitter card or if you buy pre cut butterflys use a glitter glue.

    Good luck, they look lovely!

    Thank you ladies for your replies you have been a great help. :)
  • i made snowflakes (same style as these) last year

    PVA glue from poundland (i used that as it had a small nozzle)
    plastic film placed over the print out, i used ones i like from the net
    trace over with the glue
    left for about 30 mins to set slightly, then sprinkled with fine glitter
    and left for 48 hours

    sprinkling straight away made the lines spread
    then i just peeled them off
    i didnt have plastic film so i cut the "window" from a box
    cheap and easy
