I saw some wall decor on Etsy at the Pretty Foldings shop and thought I'd try my hand at making my own. I started by making paper flowers and butterflies as seen in my previous post. I then painted an 11x14 canvas with black and white acrylic paint until I liked how it looked.
I then hunted for some twigs outside on our property. I used high temp hot glue to attach them to the canvas. I originally thought about painting the twigs black but I liked their natural look better.
I used the hot glue to attach the flowers and butterflies. I placed the top butterfly on the end of one of the twigs that is not glued down to give it a bit more dimension. I am thinking about doing two more of these to line up across my bedroom wall.
I took these pictures with my Droid so the quality is not the best and the lighting in our basement made the canvas look a bit grayish.
