Paper Butterfly Spring Wreath
Create a colorful spring wreath for your front door using these pretty paper butterflies.
This beautiful paper butterfly wreath is made with the following supplies:
White foam wreath form
Yellow paint and sponge brush
Paper in an array of colors
Silhouette machine
Hot glue gun
Ribbon (to hang the wreath)
I began by painting the white wreath form with a soft yellow chalk paint. I used a sponge brush and gave the wreath a sparse coat. It has the look of watercolor and the yellow looks great against the blue and green butterflies.
I went through my paper stash and pulled out shades of blue and green. I wanted an ombre effect so I chose shades that moved beautifully from light blue to green.
Next, I used my Silhouette to cut a few butterflies from each color of paper. I used a free cut file that had lots of dimension, you can use butterflies for this project or it would look lovely with flowers too. Once all the butterflies were cut, I folded up the wings slightly and used hot glue to attach them to the wreath.
I started with the lightest color on top and gradually moved into the greens as I went down. I chose to add butterflies just to the side of the wreath to give the impression that they are flying.
