Happy Thursday!! Today's thrifty craft is a take-off of this gorgeous pillow that Disney over at ~Ruffles And Stuff~. I had a little Dollar Store frame that was in need of something (sorry, I can't seem to find a before picture of the frame - it was just basic wood toned). So I sprayed my little Dollar Store frame with a few coats of Heirloom White (ah spray paint, how I love you) and put it in my stash for a rainy day. Well let me tell you, the past few days have been rainy. So out came my little cream-alicious frame and with Disney's generous pattern, I cut a butterfly out of light blue felt and another one out of a scrap of pastel cotton and sewed them together (I ran a stitch around the edge and around the body of the butterfly):
(my appologies for the bad photo - it was dark and rainy)
And now for the assembly. I took a page from an old book (used for such projects) and cut it to fit in the frame. Then just a little dab of hot glue just on the butterfly body to attach it to the book page and viola:
It adds such a fun touch of whimsy to our end table :)

Absolutely darling! One question though, how did you get the butterfly to look so 3-d? I love that effect! If you could email some details or leave a comment on my very lame blog I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
