Paper Butterfly Wall Art

Decorating your home for the seasons can get real expensive, real fast. I’m always looking for creative ways to re-use items I already have on hand. If I think about it too much though, the ideas escape me. It’s when I have an unexpected thought that I walk away with something I like. Such was the case with Christmas decor that I turned into paper butterfly wall art just in time for spring.

Let It Snow Wall Art, for Winter or ChristmasYou might remember my Let It Snow sign (which I found for half price) from my Christmas Home Tour.

How to Change Wall Art from One Season to the Next. I took the sign off the wall and measured a piece of brown Kraft paper to cover up its snowy message. I left as much of the white planks exposed as I possibly could. I used quality tape to attach the paper to the sign. Then it was just a matter of cutting butterflies from decorative card stock. You could also use patterned scrapbook paper.

  1. What a brilliant idea, Jennifer, the idea of making the temporary changes. I can see how it will work for all the different seasons, jst by changing out the paper and putting whatever is “in season” on it. Love it, smart lady!
