Here is some more inspiration for the upcoming Iron Crafter Round 4 {Secret Ingredient is Paint Samples)!
I used some paint samples to decorate my Book Page Wreath!
Find the tutorial for the book page wreath: HERE
Here is what you will need to make your own butterflies:
Paint samples
Butterfly template (I used clip art from Word) or Butterfly punch
Pencil
Scissors
1. Cut out your butterfly templates.
I like to have 3 different sizes but it is up to you what you want to do!
2. Trace HALF way around the butterfly on your paint sample
3. Move your template over about a centimeter.
4. And then trace the other half. This will create a little more space for the "body"
5. Cut out your butterfly
6. Repeat for how many butterflies that you want.
Directions for attaching it to a wreath:
7. Use 2 straight pins to attach it to your wreath
8. Fold the wings to give them a 3-D effect.
9. Continue placing the butterflies on your wreath until you are happy with how it looks!
10. Hang it up with a ribbon or strip of burlap!
I think that these butterflies would be cute a magnets, embellishments on cards, and on a frame!
I hope that you are inspired to make a craft with Paint Samples for the Iron Crafter Round 4!

This is a very cute idea! I think my pre-k students would love these, and they could make them if I used a die-cut and had them to fold them.
Simple, cheap and cute? Perfect!
That's really adorable. What a fun use for paint swatches.
