I painted these! And it took a few hours, but it was fun. I found an old kit for painting butterfly window clings, and I just decided to tackle it and make some colorful butterflies for my window.
What was interesting was how with this kind of paint, there’s a scooper tool. You scoop the paint on to each section, then use the pointy end to spread it out evenly. There was a paint-by-number guide in the instruction manual. I took a little bit of creative liberty in adding blue to the brown-and-red butterfly, but I probably should have just left it as is; these kit people seem to know what they’re doing. 🙂
You have to wait for it to dry for at least 24 hours, and then take them off the paper backing, carefully cut them out, and voila! You have a lovely clingaling.
I’m giving a couple of these to a friend who loves butterflies, and the rest are colorfying my living room in the mornings!
This is less my style than others, but they look nice! I’d be afraid Aryn’s cat would try to eat it.
He probably would. These are pretty high up in the window, but that crazy cat could probably do some parkour and jump to reach them.
Yeah…Allonsy would eat those for sure. 😀 if they fell anyway. which they would. cause he’d knock them down. 😀
I did stained glass projects like this when I was little…haven’t thought about it in years though.
I think stained glass looks fun and pretty, but one of the more expensive crafts… I will probably try it at some point, though.
