Add a little butterfly flair around your space!

Spring is wonderfully here in Southwestern Michigan! And when we saw these paper butterfly embellishments, we had to add them around the office and bring a little of that springtime flair indoors.

The Graphics Fairy (one of our favorite sources for vintage graphics and more!) posted a blog using these wonderful paper butterflies.

We simply followed the Graphic Fairy's blog directions (see her website for full instructions):

  1. Copy butterfly images from the Graphic Fairy's website (search butterfly and choose your favorites!) Make sure to make two of each image in the exact size.
  2. Cut out the butterflies, fold and glue.
  3. We used a glue stick and dabbed glue along the edges of the wings and pressed the glued edges into glitter that we spread onto a sheet of paper.
  4. Add a glue dot to the back of the butterflies and embellish away!
Here is where our butterflies landed:

And her computer monitor....
and her office door....
There are many more possibilities with these beautiful glitter butterflies.
  • Add onto a wood skewer or popsicle stick for a plant poke.
  • Add to a barrette.
  • Stick on a spring candle.

What are your ideas?
Happy Treasure Hunting!
