satur-DIY: butterfly collection

today's snow day meant i had plenty of time to wrap a project i've been excited about for a while.

i saw a faux butterfly collection in a recent edition of real simple {my life blood!}.

loved it! and hope you do too.

supplies:

decorative paper

pins (i used 12 ... you might need a few less or a few more)

a light box (i found this one at michaels for ONLY $4.)

a butterfly to use as a stencil

a pencil and scissors

step one:

use your butterfly stencil to trace your butterflies.

then cut them out. (this might take a while so i strongly recommend a good movie!)

{i cut a total of 12 so that i could have 4 rows of 3.}

step two:

fold up the wings on each butterfly.

step three:

lay out your butterflies in the pattern you desire.

then, pin them into place.

voila ...

cute, huh?
