At night when the house is quiet and the kids are in bed I craft. I love to create and have time just to think. Last night I made this butterfly garland for my daughters dresser. I think it turned out simply beautiful.
This month I'd love to work on getting her room spring cleaned and a decorated. I think these butterflies add a touch of spring! Now if I can just get motivated to go thru her closet!
Here is how I made it...
{Look at my little helper.
As soon as I went to take the picture of the supplies needed
Blueberry hopped up on the ottoman.
He wanted to be on the Glitter blog I guess!}
Supplies:
Scrap Book Paper
Needle
Scissors
Heavy White Thread
Paper Punch{see below}
Martha Stewart Martha Stewart Large Punch, Monarch Butterfly
Punch out several butterflies.
Thread your needle and thru the top two holes string you buttlerfly.
String away!
Hang your garland.
I secured mine to the back of the dresser mirror with clear tape.
To create a scalloped look hang a second row of butterflies then lift from the middle of the garland and tuck over the top row. Now step back and see how beautiful!
You can chase a butterfly all over the field and never catch it.
But if you sit quietly in the grass it will come and sit on your shoulder.
