DIY Butterfly Wall Art
One of the things I do when I’m bored is stare at my craft closet to see if there is anything I can make without purchasing something new. I had these wooden frames left over from a Wine Tasting Bridal Shower party I did and these butterflies I bought from a craft store that was going out of business a while ago (I bought 80 of these butterflies for less than $10). These butterflies are great to adorn gifts, my initial intention for their use. Anyway, with left over craft paint and scrapbook paper, I decided on DIY Butterfly Wall Art for my daughter’s bedroom.
Here are the materials you need:
- Wooden frames
- Craft Butterflies
- Scrapbook Paper
- Paper cutter or scissors
- Craft paint
- Paint brush
- Hot Glue Gun
Yet another fun and easy project was complete while my daughter watched her one hour episode of Sesame Street (she LOVES Elmo and Baby Bear).
First, I painted each wooden frame. By the way, you can purchase these frames in packs of three from IKEA for $1.99… cheap! Meanwhile, while the paint was drying, I cut out scrapbook paper to fit the frames (4X6) with a paper cutter.
I assembled the frames when the paint was dry and using a hot glue gun, attached the butterfly to the center of the frames. You have to hold the butterfly in place for a few seconds while the hot glue dries. I hung them above my daughter’s window in her room.
Here are some AFTER photos.
What’s in YOUR craft closet??

Again, can’t believe you thought of this with using stuff you already have. This is great.
