Tie in center, make sure you leave two, 2 inch threads for the antenna.
JK is made working off ball.
For JK tail, on this one I did 100 half stitches. I first put my thread through the small wings of butterfly so when closed it would attach. Then made the tassel and attaching with end threads from the JK..
Butterfly is from Barbara Foster's Needle Tatting Book.
