Butterflies :]

  • Completed Project: Butterflies :] Picture #1

Holy carpet! They're everywhere! O.O

I started making these butterflies after exams in July, and I got the idea from people who collect real butterflies. In any case, I started thinking about putting them up on the walls of my room, and they give a different look. My walls are forever doomed to be white, so these butterflies add colour and taste. So in total I made around 5, got bored, and now I'm getting back to it :)

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    The first step is to come up with a butterfly template that you like. Personally, when I was searching up some outlines, I didn't like most of them, and created my own.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Grab your materials, and start cutting them out! To make them look nicer, try not to you the same pattern twice, so go through a magazine if you want.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Finally, start putting masking tape on the back of the butterflies and on to the wall. To make them stick out more, sort of make a crease in the middle, but not a lot cause it will show the tape. Eh I didn't make enough to fill one part of the wall T________T

Smart way to brighten up a room. Other shapes would also be neat.
