I think this is one of my all time favorite DIY projects & I'm super excited to share it with you today! I've been filling up my journal with tons of fun ideas for future blog posts and projects and this is one of them! This is my first home decor DIY inspired by fashion… and it's perfect for Spring!
Ever since I saw this amazing butterfly hair piece by Alexander McQueen I've been so inspired. I've always admired feather butterflies, but never used them in a project before! I love to translate something that inspires me (fashion, music, art) into something practical for my home.
Supplies needed: a foam wreath form, grey yarn (i like thick & chunky lion brand yarn best!), scissors, adhesive, feather butterflies (i used about 20 on a 12 inch wreath).
Step 1: wrap your wreath form with thick yarn. use small sections (about one yard of yarn each time), tie each section on the back of the wreath & repeat.
Step 2: this is how the back side of your wreath form should look. Make sure each section is tightly wound and that no floral foam is exposed.
Step 3: adhere butterflies directly to the yarn around the entire surface of your wreath. Mix up colors and sizes to create an interesting arrangement. note: I used tacky craft glue. hot glue or super glue would work as well.
It's a pretty quick Do-It-Yourself project! The most time consuming part is wrapping the yarn, which is a great TV-watching-multitasking-activity. Hope you enjoyed this and feel inspired! Happy butterflies for everyone….
Cool. butterflies look spectacular in any interior . There’s an entire movement – taxidermy – tropical butterflies in frames , usually frame and hang on the wall. Here’s a great photo with the interior with butterflies within.

actually, it was Philip Treacy that made the Butterfly headpiece for Alexander McQueen. He is also the designer that created Princess Beatrice’s, Princess Eugenie’s, Duchess Camilla’s and also Victoria Beckham’s hats for the royal wedding!! Beautiful artwork 🙂
Thats given me so many great ideas! Thanks Elsie 🙂
However, information on the look one is the most ornate, more elegant. But this year, unique clothing or sun glasses are popular gradient. Black and gray gradient, earth color gradient, gradient blue-violet. very worthwhile, and intensely fashionable.
I really thank to one who wrote this article. I have always been reading and writing texts like this in blogs. Also, I, as a daily writer, present my respects to everyone. I just watched videos like this in research in all areas.
Very cute! Love it.
I recently made this headband from feather butterflies!

I begin teaching butterfly by having my students “wiggle” or swim like a mermaid. With your hands at your side start your kick with your nose and let the “wiggle” move down your body – nose to chest to abs to hips to thighs down to your toes. Practice this until you are more comfortable – then try to add in your arms.
