The first is a wreath made from recycled book pages that have been transformed into whimsical butterflies. I love butterflies they are little creatures full of the most amazing color, details and a true symbol of change. Did you know that butterfly wings are covered in tiny scales, each in a different color? Quite simply amazing if I may say so! Anyway...I digress...lets get started! Start with an old book- (I had one left over from my last event where we altered old encyclopedia pages) Draw an outline of a butterfly- this can be detailed and perfect or a simple doodle- it is up to you! Fill with paint. Create enough butterflies to fill the surface of your wreath. Cut out the butterflies, leaving a little bit of the extra page showing around the edges. Use strips of the pages to wrap around the wreath- I used tacky glue. Craftweasel.
