Materials
- Old book
- Butterfly stencil
- Keys
- Twine or other rustic string
- Tools
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Scissors
Tear out a few pages from an old book to work with. How many you need depends on how many butterflies you plan to make.
For each butterfly, trace around both the large stencil and the small one on the book page so that you have two butterfly shapes in two different sizes.
Cut out the butterfly shapes from the old book pages.
Apply hot glue to the top of one of the larger butterfly shapes, and then attach the smaller butterfly shape on top of it. This becomes a single butterfly with more of a “3D” effect than it would have if we’d simply used one shape to create it. Do this step repeatedly to create as many butterflies as you want.
Apply hot glue to one of the keys, and then attach that to one of the paper butterflies.
Rinse and repeat to create as many butterflies as you want
Run some twine through the hole at the top of the key so that you can hang up the rustic butterfly decoration. Again, do this with all of the old book butterflies you have created.
You can now hang your rustic old book butterfly decorations anywhere!
