Paper Butterflies in a Frame

Hello! Today I decided to show you guys how to make some cute pop-up butterflies in a frame to put up on your wall! It adds some fun and cuteness to any room!
                                              Materials:
A frame
Scissors
Tape
Pencil
X-acto Knife
Scrapbook Paper
Paper Butterflies

Step #1
Tape the paper to your frame, but if you have a wood frame, then just put the paper in as if you were putting in a photo

Step #2
Then, put the paper butterflies in a design that you like and trace them. Make sure there is cardboard underneath ( the butterflies could be patters that you get of the internet, or you could cut them out yourself )
 Step #3
This is my pattern. My butterflies are just kind of flying up.
 All you need to do now is just cut the pattern out, except in the middle where the body is
Step #4
Then you want to tape a piece of paper (any color you like)
and tape  it on top of the scrapbook paper.
Step #5
All you need to do now is fold the butterflies in by the lines of the body, and you are done! Hang it up and enjoy the masterpiece!

Valentine's Day Room Decor!

It's finally up! Here I made some easy DIY's for you guys for Valentines Day so without further ado(how do you even spell that?) lets begin!


Heart Banner and Paper Heart Doilies
Cute Candle Holder
Target Banner





Store-Bought Banner: 

I bought this at Target a couple years ago, but they still have things like this there. This came in such a way that you had to assemble it yourself, like sticking the letters on and stringing the squares. 


Paper Heart Doilies:

I bought these at the dollar store ( Dollar Tree ) and these are really easy to decorate with. You could stick these on walls with tape or make a banner with them by taping them together in a row.


Bowl with Flameless Candle:

This is just a cheap fishbowl that I had, (or you could use a big vase) and I put red tissue paper in it , stuck the flameless candle in it, and I had these heart sticks that I got at Dollar Tree, so I arranged them in the bowl.


Paper Tissue Strips Bowl:

This is a really easy project:)
 All you need to do is cut strips of tissue paper /\you can see there are two pictures\/ which means you can double the strips to make them look more vibrant.:)
Then you will paint a line of ModPodge or Glue on the place where you want your tissue paper to be, you could do different designs, and then start laying the tissue down on the glue 
 Then go around the whole circle. You also want to cover the strips in several layers of glue. also, you can do different colors of paper.
As you can see, this was very easy and turns out a really cute project!
