3d butterfly box frame picture




i got the idea to make this butterfly picture from one i saw online
 i used my silhouette to cut out the butterflies, put a butterfly punch will do the same. i cut it on to left over wallpaper, as i thought the patterns would look nice, and it would match well it the room with this wallpaper in.
 i was going to make the box frame, like the one i seaw online, but then i found one in the cuboard under the stairs. so i decided to use it. first i removed what was inside it and painted it cream.
 then i got some thick paper for the back and sprayed it with "eau de nil" spray paint
 then i folded the butterfies and glued them on the the paper
 then i glued this to the board on the back of the frame. then put the frame back together
 heres the one i was going to make, it cost £50 and mine cost me nothing. as the frame would of been binned if i didnt use it.
