Bonjour lovelies! Looking to add a little fun and festive spring home décor? Well, I have a simple DIY of spring butterflies perfect for the upcoming weekend to flutter a dose of the new season around. For this project I cut out pages of old Vogue issues with some of the most gorgeous images. You definitely could use any type of paper (just not too thick) but I find that colorful magazine clippings make beautiful butterflies and little conversation pieces. Just add a little mounting putty on the back of each butterfly to hang up anywhere. Keep reading for the instructions…
