You'll need:
*A frame that has inserts or depth so you can have 3d objects inside. (Michael's has a ton of these)
*Lots of different paper- I used scrapbooking sheets, newspaper, photographs and most punches were from the giant stack of catalogs that somehow make it to my mailbox EVERY DAY.
*A punch - I like the Martha Stewart ones
*Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
1st- On the base of your picture (I used the insert that comes in the frame and just flipped it over) measure out where you want each butterfly to go and mark with a ruler. My markings are 1in apart between each punch and the rows are spaced 1 and a half inches apart .

3rd- Lay out design, try to space out different colors and textures but still leave it random
Hang and admire! P was so impressed when he saw this hanging on the wall, it really adds interest!

Beautiful!

I love it! Can I ask what size punch you used? I really want to make one!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and I'm so very glad I did! You are full of so many good ideas and perhaps even more of a craftaholic then me! I created my own butterfly college, everyone who comes over asks where I bought it :)
