finished!

it will be hung in zella's room this weekend! overall, i think it turned out pretty good. her wings are a little fat on the bottom...but i like it. i really like how it can be changed.
so my version cost me:
foam board $2.99
white spray paint .99
galvanized flashing 4 at .98
i already had the frame, pattered paper, buttons, and the magnets.
so my total cost was under $7 dollars, add in some tax and i made it for under $9.00!
pottery barn wanted $179.oo!!

we thought it was over priced also!
have a great weekend

more butterflies

before i added the foam board, i decided that i wanted the option of removing the foam board and changing it out for something on down the line... i can now change anything about this that i want to. i can change the foam board, i can change the pattern paper around the foam board, (the pink with white poka dots), and i can even re-spray paint the frame if i want to. so to do this, i added the galvanized flashing directly on the glass.
then i added some books to help it dry flat. this is what it looked like after

then i put magnets on the back of the foam board. so technically, it is just one big magnet (the foam board).
i will try to finish it up today or tomorrow. but it will pretty much end up like the picture in the last post. i want to add some crystals...
