Salvaged Fence Arrows...with perfect little aqua hinge tails...

 Is anyone else still "arrow obsessed"?

"Whatsit" Hardware Butterflies

Can you see it?

Would you have seen it before?

 

I bought these little hardware "whatsits" a few weeks ago at an occasional sale.  I still have no idea what they really are but to me they were destined to be butterflies.

I just happened to already have the PERFECT foam stamp for the wings. 

(By the way ...my 8-year old had borrowed my aqua paint...if you think that bottle looks messy you should have seen his pants and t-shirt.  Oh well..."art IS messy")

I stamped and cut out the wings...on old book pages, of course ;)

Marked my spots for the holes...and then cut them out with a small hole punch.

I used glue dots for some extra "stick"

Then tied them on with skinny twine...for some extra "cute"

Did I mention they even had little holes at the top for a little twine for hanging?

"Meant to be"

Now if only I knew what they really are???  Guess I'll have to head over to the hardware store to find out...I used up the ones I bought :)

"Trash" to "Treasured"...junk cross

Can you believe I didn't do one bit of Easter decorating this year?  Not one egg, or bunny...I started out "too busy" and then got "too lazy".

With this extra special holiday coming up I decided to share a little project I did a while back.  I forgot to share it with you then but remembered recently when I gave one to my dad for his birthday...
