Buterfly Collection

 
 
Good day to you all.
Today I would like to show you
an art project
I made for Miss A's room.
 
 
A very simple but trendy
butterfly collection shadow box.
 
I don't have a before pic
but
I found this frame/shadowbox at a thrift store
for $1.00.
It had an old cross stitch picture in it.
I painted the frame white
and took the whole thing apart.
Then painted the frame on the inside with
black chalkboard paint.
 
I had some scrapbook paper that had butterflies all over it.
So, I cut several of them out.
 
 
Then I blinged them up with
glitter glue.
 
 
I used another piece of green printed
scrapbook paper for the background,
arranged the butterflies in a formation I liked
and
glued them in place.
 
Put the frame back together
and
wallah......
 
 
Miss A loves her butterfly collection.
It's blinged, colorful and just right
for her room.
 
What have you done lately?
 
 
Until next time....
 
Lovin' my life in Carolina,
Cathy
