DIY 3-D Butterfly Artwork

April 26, 2013  Uncategorized

 

Love this DIY 3-D Butterfly Artwork kellyelko.com

One of my twins is named Vanessa, which means butterfly.

My girls are 13 now but thankfully still love being tucked into bed.  Every night, Vanessa asks for a “mystery doll” and I rummage through her huge basket of stuffed animals and pull out a long forgotten one.  She puts her head under the covers, reaches her hands out and I let her touch a small part of the doll.  Whether it’s an ear or a tail or a toe, she guesses correctly 99% of the time and we always crack up!

My girls are the funniest people I know!

Eclectically Vintage 12 Months of Martha Martha Stewart Crafts DIY art

3-D Dream Art

1) Spray paint cork board (I used black so the butterflies would pop)

2) Draw your word or design in chalk (I chose Dream)

3) Punch 2 types of butterflies from double sided scrapbook paper using Martha Stewart Crafts Layering Paper Punch (this one punch can make both solid and patterned shapes)!

4) Score each butterfly down the middle using Martha Stewart Crafts Mini Scoring Board

5) Hot glue each butterfly onto the tip of a ball point pin

6) Stick butterfly pin into cork board using your chalked word as a guide

My other daughter’s name, Olivia, means peace.  I’ll have to get working on a peace sign for her!

    Your sock monkey looks like he should be called “Rockford” (my 2 yr old grandson likes that choice). I couldn’t quite decide which name I like best: “Nelson” or “Rockford” because that’s the name of the company who & the town in IL where the sock was invented (+ it’s the sock’s style name) in 1932. Other good choices might have been “Herbert” (Hoover was still president in 1932, though he lost the election that November) OR “Franklin” (Roosevelt was elected in 1932 & was the president during the 1930s when the sock monkey first became so popular).

    The sock monkey’s name should be “Toes”. Around our house, sock monkeys get your toes. The sock part of them misses keeping them warm and gets them every chance he has….. haha.

    You should def name your sock monkey, Mr Gonzales and then you can call him Gonzo for short 🙂 I am already a follower on Pinterest! Love that you tuck your girls in at night and at 13 years old, they still want you to do so. Girls, You’re never too old to love your Momma and to tell her so.

When I asked him how he knew that his name was Gus, he looked at me like I was asking the craziest question in the world and said “well look at him Grandma, what else would his name be?” LOL!
