I picked up these two little butterfly ornaments for Elise’s room even before she was born, but I never quite knew what to do with them.
I tried tacking them up on the wall with poster putty, but gravity was not cooperating. Then I thought, what better place for butterflies than a butterfly jar?
I started with a pickle jar, cleaned it well and removed the label. I also scrubbed off all the printed-on dates and numbers on the glass.
I made sure the butterflies would fit and thought about how I would arrange them.
Next I covered the lid with a leftover piece of scrapbook paper using Mod Podge. If the thought of wrapping something round like that is perplexing, there’s a good tutorial at Design Sponge.
Lastly, I put hot glue on the bodies of the butterflies and stuck them directly to the inside of the jar. I tried to adjust them a little but, those babies were not going anywhere. The coolness of the glass made the hot glue harden really quickly.
thanks for visiting my blog. That is sooo cute with the butterflies. I have a thing for them!
Very cute! I like it.
