Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies

In addition to all of the quilting I did over the weekend, I found a little time to make these...


This is the Pottery Barn Kids-inspired project I was telling you about. The catalog featured similar butterflies attached to a little girl's wall. The lightbulb immediately went off in my brain. I have a (very subtle) butterfly theme in Maddy's room and plenty of blank wall space. I thought these would be a perfect addition to her room.

So I got to work and made butterfly...

These are soooo easy (and so fun) to make. All you need are some fabric scraps, white glue, a sewing machine or hand sewing needle and thread and some double-sided tape (for attaching to the wall). 

The best part about this project was finding fun places for the butterflies to land. Such as on a lampshade or a picture frame or the light-switch plate. You can really have a sense of humor with this one.


I've been writing up a tutorial and will share it with you tomorrow.

So then I got to thinking... this project would also translate to other shapes. Like hearts! How appropriate for this time of year.


So there you have it! I can't wait to share my easy tutorial (along with templates) tomorrow.

Have a happy and creative day!
