Supplies (some are affiliate links)
- Deep Red Stamps Butterflies Rubber Stamp Set
- Xyron 1.5-inch Create-A-Sticker
- Xyron Tape Runner
- Stamp ink
- Acrylic stamp block (at least 4×6 inches)
- White cardstock
- Watercolors and brush
- Scissors
- Wood letter (that fits inside wreath form)
- 12-inch wreath form
- Twine
Directions
- You can go about making the butterflies in several ways. The first way I did it was to freely paint stripes in different watercolors on white cardstock, then stamp my butterflies on top.
- Then I fussy-cut around the butterflies.
- And that’s it! Make as many as you need.
- Another way is to color them in after stamping. This was fun, but took a lot more time. The other way is fun but faster. Fussy cut out the butterflies as before.
- I wanted my butterflies to have some dimension so I folded my butterflies and only added adhesive to parts of it. For some, I ran the folded butterfly through my Xyron Create-A-Sticker. The largest one can fit through my little 1.5-inch machine.
- So when it comes out, only half of the butterfly has adhesive on the back.
- And when you stick it onto the wood letter, one of the wings is sticking up. NOTE: Before you cover the whole letter with butterflies, first tie some twine at the top for hanging on the wreath. See a few photos down.
- I also used my Xyron Tape Runner to add adhesive to just the middle of the butterfly.
- So that both wings are sticking up.
- I forgot to add my hanging string to my wood letter, as mentioned above. I just wrapped twine around the top a few times and left both ends long.
- Then I adhered a butterfly on top to conceal it.
- I added one last touch, a banner that I printed out, and adhered a few butterflies to it.
- Here’s the banner printable if you’d like to use it. Or it’s just as easy to make one by hand.
All done. My Summer Monogram Wreath was so fun to make!
