Easy Thrifty DIY Butterfly Art

I will show you how to create this easy DIY butterfly art that I created for my friend’s daughters bedroom.

So I have a bit of a thing for butterflies….

When we got married we had a bit of a butterfly theme to our wedding.

My husband chose it. He is a bit of a butterfly nut too. {kidding}

I even kept the butterfly printed fabric from our wedding in case we ever had a baby girl. But we didn’t.

Good thing I have a friend who let me “borrow” her daughter to decorate for. You may have seen the Butterfly Lantern Light Fixture that I shared the other day? Well, this is another little DIY butterfly project that we did for her room.

I got these pretty little shadowbox frames at Ikea. I love these frames and have used them for lots of projects. They come in two sizes and these are the smaller ones.

A butterfly punch with yellow, blue, purple and pink butterflies cut out.

 

Like with the lantern, we used a butterfly punch from Michaels to cut out all kinds of butterflies from some cardstock that matches the decor in the room.

Then I marked out a neutral piece of cardstock with little dots in a grid pattern to help me glue them on evenly. I used a ruler to help me space them.

A little hot glue and you are done! We did a light lilac toned background paper but you could really choose any color. I like the contrast of one butterfly that is a different colour…

I made these for the pretty gallery wall above her bed…

  1. Adorable, and so easy! If I ever have a daughter, I would love to make this for her, and I’m pretty sure my son would love to help. He loves paper punches!
