My daughter and I go to the dollar store at least once a week. On our weekly trip I ran across some long frames that I thought would be perfect for a project I had in mind. A while ago I saw this (
butterflies in a frame) project featured on the blog One Pretty Thing. (Which I check on almost a daily basis.)
One more thing: Whenever I go to Home Depot, I always have to go by the paint section. I am not really sure why, but it is my favorite. On one of my trips I brought home a booklet with paint ideas for different rooms. I loved the ideas...then I got one more.
I began to punch out butterfies using the paint idea book. There where some beautiful textures and color combinations. The resulting butterflies are stunning. I LOVE them.
The mat in the frame needed to have the dividers removed. I then cut wrapping paper to fit the frame.
Finally, I used small glue dots to place the butterflies. Of course, I am a bit of a freak about them being equidistant. I printed off a table from my word processing software and used it as a guide to punch the holes I needed.
I will take a picture when I put it up and add it here. I also need to finish the second frame. So, keep an eye out for new pictures.
Thanks!!
