Since we are in the summer, we want all the church services to be different. For this occasion we would give a teaching on miracles and wanted to use the analogy of the metamorphosis of the butterfly.
The idea was to have a little girl dressed up in butterfly wings to welcome everyone and then stand in front of the congregation and recite a few brief words. My task was to make butterfly wings for Princess Mia. I was very excited because this was a very new project for me.

Como estamos en el verano, queremos que todos los cultos de la Iglesia sean diferentes. Para esta ocasión daríamos una enseñanza sobre los milagros y quisimos usar la analogía de la metamorfosis de la mariposa.
La idea era que una niña disfrazada con alas de mariposa le diera la bienvenida a todos y luego puesta en pie delante de la congregación, recitara unas breves palabras. Mi tarea era hacer unas alas de mariposa para la princesa Mía. Me encontraba muy emocionada porque este proyecto resultaba muy novedoso para mí.

They say that when a caterpillar says its dream is to fly high, everyone laughs, except the butterflies. They must think that an ugly and simple caterpillar will never be able to become a beautiful butterfly.
Well, when you see the step by step of my wings maybe you will also doubt that they will look good in the end hahaha. But have a little faith in me.

Cuentan que cuando una oruga dice que su sueño es volar bien alto, todos se ríen, excepto las mariposas. Deben pensar que una fea y simple oruga jamás será capaz de convertirse en una bella mariposa.
Bueno, cuando vean el paso a paso de mis alas quizás duden también de que al final queden bien jajaja. Pero ténganme un poco de fe.


Steps to follow

Pasos a seguir

Step 1
Mold the coat hangers into a shape similar to the wings of a butterfly. This can be done with the help of tweezers if necessary. Or, as in my case, you can ask for "an adult to supervise you". I know I am already an adult, but I needed a "bigger adult" hahaha.

Paso 1
Moldear los percheros hasta conseguir una forma semejante a las de las alas de una mariposa. Para ello es posible auxiliarse de unas pinzas de ser necesario. O pueden hacer como en mí caso, pedir que "un adulto los supervise". Sé que yo ya soy una adulta, pero me hacía falta un "adulto más grande" jajaja.

Step 2
Now it is necessary to dress the wings with the light blue tulle. It is important not to stretch the fabric too much, but to wrap the wings in a way that gives them body. When you are satisfied with the way the wings look when you dress them, you must fix the tulle with very discreet seams, you can also use wires.

Paso 2
Ahora es necesario vestir las alas con el tul azul claro. Es importante no estirar demasiado la tela, sino ir envolviendo las alas de forma que se les dé cuerpo. Cuando sea de nuestro agrado la manera en que van quedando las alas al vestirlas, debemos fijar el tul con costuras muy discretas, también pueden usar alambres.

Step 3
Now it is important to proceed to join both wings, with firm seams. To embellish this union or to hide it, we can use the tulle left over when dressing each wing. It is important that the union be discreet and be as curious as possible.

Paso 3
Ahora es importante proceder a unir ambas alas, con costuras firmes. Para embellecer está unión o disimularla podemos emplear el tul sobrante al vestir cada ala. Es importante que la unión sea discreta y quedé lo más curiosa posible.

Step 4
I loved the idea of contrasting the light blue with the dark. So I sewed a piece of dark tulle on the top edge of the wings, and I think it gave them an elegant and beautiful touch.

Paso 4
Me encantó la idea de contrastar el azul claro con el oscuro. Así que cosí una pieza de tul oscuro en el borde superior de las alas, y creo que les dio un toque elegante y precioso.

Step 5
Decorate the wings with small details such as buttons, fabric scraps, ribbons and anything else you can think of. Remember that less is always more.

Paso 5
Decorar las alas con pequeños detalles como botones, retazos de tela, cintas y cualquier cosa que se les ocurra. Sin olvidar que menos es siempre más.

Step 6
Sew some elastic ribbons to the wings so that the girl can put the wings on.
I know the wings weren't for me, but if I didn't try them on I'm not Rocío hahaha. I loved feeling like a butterfly for a few seconds.

Paso 6
Coser unas cintas elásticas a las alas para que la niña pueda ponerse las alas
Sé que las alas no eran para mí, pero es que si no me las probaba no soy Rocío jajaja. Me encantó sentirme mariposa por unos segundos.

Result
With the wings ready, I decided to show them to Mia. She is a very affectionate, sweet and shy girl. But she enthusiastically took on the challenge of being a beautiful butterfly for a day. Although Mia was a little nervous, she managed to say the words she had prepared in front of everyone in the church.
I smiled as I watched her, happy to know that we fly higher when we teach others to fly with their own wings.

Resultado
Ya con las alas listas, decidí mostrárselas a Mía. Ella es una niña muy cariñosa, dulce y tímida. Pero que con entusiasmo asumió el reto de ser por un día una bella mariposa. Aunque Mía se puso algo nerviosa, logró decir las palabras que tenía preparadas en frente de todos en la Iglesia.
Por mí parte sonreí al verla, feliz de saber que se vuela más alto cuando enseñamos a otros a volar con sus propias alas.
