How can i make sum large wall hanging butterfly's & flowers?

We are in the middle of decorating the girls room, the theme is butterfly's %26amp; flowers and pink and lilac colours. I want to make some wall hangings of flowers and butterflys, what is the best way to do this please? thanks!|||http://mariesmanor.hotusa.org/Garden/The鈥?/a>|||you could get some lightweight wire %26amp; bend into shape of butterflys %26amp; then cover with some sheer lightweight material %26amp;paint on spots or design with fabric paints,possibly construct a mobile with them.Flowers can be made from coloured tissue paper.|||I dont know about the best way.. but I did something similar when my kids were younger.





I used straws and coloured wool, made a slit in the end of the straw, using a knot to hold it. I got a framework done first then filled in a pattern with the coloured wool lengths. use a darning needle to " stitch the pattern."





much depends on how old the girls are, or how tolerant they are of home made stuff... if between five and ten, they might even come up with an idea of their own. You can only ask them. you might be surprised at what they come up with.|||You could use polystyrene sheets, available from builders providers (maybe B%26amp;Q or Homebase) to cut your shapes and paint with emulsion paint. You can cut the shape with a stanley knife or bread knife, smooth the cut edges with fine sand paper and voil谩. They are great for a 3D effect and are lightweight so they can be stuck on walls %26amp; ceilings.|||ive done some similar to my girls one girl has lilac coloured butterfly theme and the other pink heart theme.i got some wall hangings and matching lampshades rugs,curtain poles,shelves the lot from next i also made some using borsal wood and paint and some canvases i got cheap from craft shop and painted them in a design and i let them do 1 for themselves gave it a bit of personal touch and it wasnt intill they got their own room i realised the different tastes and characters they were.if your girls sharing the room add all of the above in next they do flower theme to.good luck. hope this has helped
