Hello! Hello! Love Stitched stalkers readers!
My name is Halsey and I am so happy to be here today. Don't you just love Brittany's blog? She totally cracks me up with her funny stories, her amazing tutorials, and I her keen eye for fashion!
When I am not chasing my Punk around or lovin' on my Hunk I run a lil' blog called Spunky Junky. I am a true believer that good taste doesn't need to cost a lot of money! So I have tried to make my house a home one piece of spunky junk at a time.
Today I am going to show you how to make a butterfly specimen box on the cheap...as in super, uber cheap.
For this project I used:
paint sample cards in coordinating colors from Lowe's-FREE
self-adhesive foam mount stickers
a butterfly punch
and a mounting board (aka the Costco cardboard insert so pictures can't bend) FREE
I tried to pick out paint sample cards that coordinated with the colors in my home.
Once I cut out the butterflies I used the adhesive foam stickers to stick the butterflies to the mounting board.
Super cheap. Deceivingly cute.
Thanks Brittany for so letting me crash your pad today!
