Spring finally seems to be popping up around here. Green things that will soon be blooming are poking through the dirt. With the warming of the air and the lengthening of the days I wanted to make some equally light-hearted projects.
Paper butterflies are the answer. I’ve always wanted a collection but cutting them out of old books seemed less cruel (not to mention my real specimens from my entomology courses were stolen by a classmate). They are so pretty painted shades of green and mounted in a shadow box.
Or swarming together to make a lovely wreath. It feels good to be doing projects again. I have my sewing machine set up in the kitchen along with bins of fabric waiting for their chance. We’ll see what I can make.
Hey Pam- I did cut all of those butterflies by hand. I bought a couple punches but they weren’t the right size or shape. I wish I had one of those cutters but I don’t think I would get enough use out of it.
Ohh I love that wreath.Are you cutting all your sweet butterflies by hand or do you have one of those cool cutting machines? Darling, very springy! Glad to see you posting again.
