Since I've been having some trouble getting used to the blank white walls in our apartment, I had to think up inventive ways to bring the fun without using hooks or paint.Voila - paper butterflies!
Last night, I cut up some old out-of-date atlases I own (yes, I chop books) into butterfly shapes, stitched them together and now I think they bring some colour and whimsy to a boring wall. They're a bit fiddly, but surprisingly quick to make.
The Pal really likes them. But I wonder what he'd think if the whole house was covered in them by this weekend?
You continue to astound me, Kate!
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous!
Why thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! You such a do-er. I hope Ben doesn't take note of this post. The only thing flying off our walls are my to-do lists and updated timetables.
ReplyDeleteYou're!
ReplyDeleteHa ha - thanks. I am a do-er, sometimes I'm also a not-do-er... :)
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend found this post and he made 7 butterflies for me; one for each month we were together. I'm leaving for university in 2 weeks and he said that he'll keep making them for me when I'm away :)
