Pearl Butterfly Embellishments


These beautiful paper butterflies would be perfect for so many things!

*Use them as scrapbooking embellishments or hand made cards.
*Glue them to a barrette for a pretty hair accessory.
*Attach them to lollypop sticks or toothpicks and use as cupcake toppers.
*Use double stick tape or adhesive and decorate dresser mirror or bling up your lampshades.
*Glue them to a strip of cardstock or a large paperclip and use as a bookmark.
*Stick a bit of wall putty to the backs of them and use them as colorful wall decor.
*Glue one to the end of your favorite pen or pencil.
*Use them to decorate the corners of your computer monitor.

The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!

Each of these lovely paper butterflies were hand painted with metallic shimmer watercolors to give them that shimmery, iridescent look that butterflies are known for. I used sticky gems and pearls to bling up the body of the butterflies as well as the wings. The wings have a slight curl to them which gives them a 3D effect, so they aren't just flat. You can also carefully fold the wings upwards a bit to give them even more dimension.

This set of 5 butterflies come in three colors: 3 blue with peach swirls, 1 medium pink with dark pink swirls and 1 peach with orange swirls. The beautiful swirly colors remind me of melting ice cream or sherbet and are so pretty!

Each of these paper butterflies is approximately 1.75 inches wide (from wingtip to wingtip) by 1.5 inches long (tip of the antennae to bottom of the wings.) With the exception of one little baby butterfly that's just so cute! That one is probably about an inch wide.
