Our Butterfly Collection!



Posted by Picasa


I Love this!




Let me tell you-


I stole this idea from a blogger that I follow


(that is ok- she stole it from a blogger she follows)




The kids and I painted some canvas with a pale blue.


Next we used watercolors and painted random paintings...


patterns, swirls, even splatter paint.


No matter what you think the painting may look like.... you will be amazed with your butterflies.




Next we used this cool butterfly punch (punch all over the page-punch).




Then we slightly bent our butterflies to give them dimension....


and finally we hot glued them to our canvas.




We hung them in our main hall bathroom.


The bathroom has some random pale blue tiles... so the blue canvas is perfect.




I LOVE THIS CRAFT!


I love the colors and I love how these look.


These made me happy!




Emily and Jake love them too....


and it was so much fun...


we might have to make more....

(If you did not click on the photos of the butterflies.... do it now.... they are amazing.

You have to see them up close.....! DO it!)
