While I was waiting for the paint to dry on my dining area wall, I decided to do a little craft/decorating project. Since it’s Spring and I’m loving butterflies lately, I made a project using my butterfly punch. I love the little print in dictionaries and it gave my butterflies the sophisticated look I was going for.
I punched out about 70 butterflies. Then folded the wings up so they had more depth to them.
I used double sided tape to secure the butterflies to the window.
And up onto the wall.
I just put them on the window and wall in a way that looked good to me.
I love the simplicity of them. I have so many more ideas using the butterfly punch now.
I looked up what a group of butterflies is called and got: swarm, rabble, flutter, kaleidoscope. I like flutter, so I’m going to call this a flutter of butterflies. Okay, I love it!!!
Super cute, I love this idea!
Wow, what a neat idea! I love the way you have them displayed!
Beautiful! I really love this and am now looking around my house to see how I can do something like this!
What a easy spring project to do. Yet, it looks ah-maz-ing!!
I love it too! It has a similar look to vinyl but #1 cheaper, #2 added dimension.
Leanne-
We need to go to lunch again so more of your creative genius can rub off on me. I love this idea! It’s so fresh and fun. Great job. 🙂

That is absolutely awesome!!
This looks great! And how simple! Simple, in a beautiful way, that is.
Love it!!!!! Do you keep a spare dictionary just to cut things out of? I should do that.
I love these and they look so happy around the window…great decor! I’m now your newest follower.
Simple, sweet and perfect for spring. Love!
Beautiful and nerdy at the same time. I love it. 😉 Especially because it is so inexpensive but definitely packs a punch! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity!
Great way to add dimension to the walls. The butterflies are really cute! Must try this.
I’m digging dictionary paper right now. I love what you’ve done here — truly fabulous!!!
I saw something similar on Studio 5 or GTU last year and loved it! I love the arrangement with the window! So cute. Thanks for linking up with DIY under $5!

Love this idea – I’m collecting ideas to use with old book pages, and I could see doing some variations on this with other punch shapes. Beautiful!
