Craptastic Crafts: Knockoff of a Knockoff - Butterfly 3D Art

So my friend Laura over at Live.Laugh.Photograph comes up with some of the most fun and easy arts and crafts projects and I just loved her Pottery Barn Butterfly 3D art knockoff. It took me a while but I finally got my butt into gear and made my little knockoff happen...TODAY! So here is my knockoff of her knockoff.

I bought this pack of paper for 5 bucks at Walmart. I tried to print out my own designs online but it was just way to much ink for me. 

I just googled "butterfly templates" printed out a few I liked and then traced them onto the card stock.

Here's what they look like after being cut out

I took them outside and sprayed them with a Matte Finish spray

I think I stood too close when I sprayed them because I was smelling fumes for a long while after they dried...ugh!

After they were dry I bent the wings up a little at the center of  each butterfly

I fastened these to the back of each butterfly and pasted to Maria's bedroom walls

Here they are above her dresser

I"m really happy with them!

Here's where I'll be linking up!
