Butterfly Decor Supplies
- Realistic Toy Butterflies
- Frame with glass removed (Size depends on the size of and how many butterflies you use.) For the package of 12 I purchased on Amazon my frame was a 11 x 16.
- Gold Spray Paint (Rust Oleum American Accents Ultra Cover 2X Spray Paint, Metallic Gold is the BEST gold I’ve ever found. Pricey on Amazon however.
- Hot Glue
Instructions
Gather your supplies. I had an old frame already with no glass already and the paint. My only cost was the toy butterflies.
I painted my frame white.
I would have painted the background white but it had holes in it so I had to do something else.
I found a large sheet of white paper I could use to cover it with.
I traced the back onto the sheet, cut it out and used spray adhesive to glue it on. Now I had a nice white background to place my butterflies on.
Next I spray painted my butterflies.
Here are all my golden butterflies.
As I wanted them to lie a bit flatter, I took some wire cutters and cut the legs off. (No way to make that sound good is there?)
I then place a dob of hot glue on each one and pressed them in place.
If desired you can measure and place a dot where each one will go. I did mine by eye and started in the corner and was careful to place them so they were evenly spaced around. No matter how many butterflies you use you want to keep about 2″ between them.
This is my finished butterfly decor frame.
Omg! Exactly what I was looking for! Something easy but yet looks like you spent hours and hours to create! Thanks for sharing- Jess
