How to make the decorative butterfly wall art
Why spend money on premium wall art when it’s so incredibly easy to make these beautiful butterflies by hand? The way we see it, there’s nothing better.
This isn’t your grandma’s butterfly collection! Creating a flutter of paper butterflies on your wall is a dramatic and affordable way to fill an empty space. It feels like living art.
My Go-To Method:
Choose Your Palette: Pick a color scheme that complements your room. I love using monochromatic tones for a modern look or metallics (gold, copper) for a touch of glam.
Cut the Butterflies: Find a simple butterfly template online or draw your own. Cut out multiple butterflies in different sizes from your selected papers. Using a bone folder to gently crease the wings adds amazing dimension.
Arrange Your Flock: Before any glue, play with the arrangement on the floor. Cluster them in a organic flow, as if they’re flying from one point.
Mount Them: Use small pieces of double-sided foam tape to stick them to the wall. The foam tape lifts the butterflies off the wall, creating gorgeous shadows that make the whole piece come alive.
It’s a stunning project that has a huge visual impact for very little cost.
How to Make a Designer Door Toran
A toran isn’t just for traditional holidays anymore! It’s a wonderful way to welcome guests into your home year-round. The latest designs mix materials for a fresh, contemporary feel.
Creating a Modern Toran:
Base: Start with a base of jute rope, a fabric strip, or even a string of wooden beads.
Elements: This is where you get creative. Think beyond mango leaves. Try felt balls, origami shapes, dried citrus slices, or fabric scraps folded into traditional borla (pompom) tassels.
Assembly: String your elements onto the base, alternating colors and textures for visual interest. According to a 2023 report by Craft Trends Magazine, over 65% of DIY enthusiasts are now mixing at least three different textures in their projects for greater depth.
Hang your creation on your front door or even above a doorway inside. It’s a project that fills your home with color and a sense of handmade warmth the moment you walk in.
