Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes!! - Burtterfly mobile


Hey everyone!! It's time for a new challenge over at Papertake Weekly! This week it's anything goes sponsored by the awesome people over at Lili of the Valley! There is an option to make something to celebrate something new. So today I'm showing you the butterfly mobile I made for the birth of my new little granddaughter, Sophie. I had been wanting to make one of these since I found out we were finally having a little girl added to the family,  so I googled and found all kinds of instructions on how to make them. I actually took about three different versions and chose what I liked best from them to end up making my own version. I will say it was quite an undertaking, and it was a lot of work. But I am very pleased with the results of my efforts. With just a touch of air current, the butterflies flutter beautifully! I hope Sophie enjoys it for many, many years to come.  I cut all the butterflies (body and shadow) with the Silhouette, then punctured a hole through the center of it with a paper piercer. I then threaded jewelry cord through them. I started with seven per strand, and worked my way to four per strand on the inside shorter ones.



Please be sure to pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out my teamies gorgeous creations, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!
