Hinge Butterflies...


Well friends, I'm still in a bit of a "holding pattern" here...
I mentioned in my last post that I've been having trouble finding inspiration and motivation lately.  Not much had changed...I guess I'm just going to wait it out.  Hope you all will wait it out with me.


For now I thought I'd show you these butterflies I made from hinges.


A little wire and some embellishments...


Maybe a magnet for a picture?
Hmmm...makes me think of another idea from "way back when"...


Do you remember my HINGE FRAMES?


Be back soon...I hope!!

"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 :)
