Supplies needed:
Airtight container
Paper towels
Water
Needle syringe
Dried butterflies/moths

Instructions:
First, we need to prepare the relaxer. Lay the bottom of the container with damp paper towels. You can either lay the paper towels on top of a very shallow amount of water, like I am doing here, or you can lay paper towels first and spritz them with water. After the bottom is covered, we’ll set the container to the side for now.

The next step is to prepare your butterflies/moths. Fill a needle syringe with water, then carefully unwrap the papered butterfly, then using the syringe, slowly inject the body of the butterfly with water, until a little bit of water starts to drip off the body of the butterfly.

After the butterflies have been injected, place them gently into the relaxer, with the body touching the damp paper towels and the wings resting on the side of the container. You can put multiple butterflies/moths into the same container.

After all your butterflies/moths have been put into the relaxer, let them sit overnight, then they’ll be ready to spread! Most butterflies/moths can stay in the relaxer for a few days, but you should take the more delicate species out after only a day.
