  • You'll need: mason jar or baby food jar with sealable lid, kitchen sponge, hammer and nail, heavy-duty string, sponge, sugar, scissors, saucepan and flower stickers or decorative tape (optional). 2
  • 1. Prepare "butterfly food" by mixing nine parts water with one part sugar. If you are using a mason jar for your feeder, use tablespoons, and if you are using a baby food jar, use teaspoons.
  • 2. Using a nail and hammer, punch a small hole in the center of the lid. A piece of a sponge will need to fit snuggly in the hole, so keep it small – you can always make it bigger if necessary.
  • 3. Cut a 1/2 inch strip from your sponge, then pull it through the hole in the lid so about half of the sponge is sticking out from the top – you'll want the sponge to be a tight fit.
  • 4. Before you tie any string around the jar, decorate your jar with brightly colored stickers, construction paper or washi tape. Flower shapes and bright colors are great options, because they'll imitate the real deal.
  • 5. Use your string to make a hanger. Flip your jar upside down. Tie some string around the neck of the jar (slightly below the lid).  Cut two more pieces of string that are about two feet long.
  • That's it! Now you can hang your feeder outside. It will work best if it's placed about six inches higher than your tallest flowers. 3

  • Impressionistic style is incredibly forgiving. I literally smacked on the paint and blended it in. I'm so happy it turned out!
  • I'm so happy how these give a much needed pop of color to my very neutral living room!
  • The textured look comes from spreading something called molding paste onto the canvas and letting it dry before applying the paint. It makes it look like the paint was applied so rich and thick that it created ridges.
  • The more colors the merrier :)
  • Can you do the Blend and Swish?
