This is a very cute kids butterfly net toy. Great for outdoor summer play. The net might lend itself to using a wire hanger bent into a circular shape if a wire wreath form is not available. Might make the net much lighter too. The instructions have many steps but the idea itself seems adaptable to improvising.

i just saw some of these metal wreaths at the dollar store a few days ago so I will need to go pick some up for keeping at my house when the grands come over and I have some tulle I was going to use for another project and used something else so all I need is a dowel stick or even a broom handle cut and scrap fabric and I can create some butterfly and bug catching nets. Super easy to do. Thanks.

What a clever idea! I've never thought to use a wreath ring for any project besides, well, wreaths! It's so fascinating how crafting materials can cross over between projects. I definitely look at my craft stores differently since seeing this project!
