Yes, I am officially butterfly obsessed. Obsessed, I tell you!
So it's not surprise that when given the opportunity to decorate for Passover, I chose butterflies! I made a banner to hang on the ceiling over the table:
It was difficult to photograph (as you might have noticed). Here's a vaguely better look:
And on the tabletop below, you can see that I made butterfly place cards too!
They're made from book pages. Here's how to do it:
STEP ONE: Staple an image of a butterfly onto your book page.
I just used one I found on the internet through a google search.
STEP TWO: Cut around the butterfly, through both layers of paper.
The staple is just an easy way to hold the two pieces together while you cut.
STEP THREE: Fold the butterfly in half and make an upward snip.
This upward snip is how the butterfly sits on the rim of the glass.
STEP FOUR: Glue the name onto the inside of the butterfly and place on the rim of the glass.
From the side, you can't see the name. The butterfly looks like it's just floating on the edge of the cup!
Here are all my place cards waiting to go to the table:
And my friend Cheryl even put her place card right into her hair:
So cute!
Thanks for stopping by!
P.S. A bit of good news came my way today! I'll have an article and some art in the upcoming Cloth Paper Scissors Gifts Magazine! Yay!

Hello 🙂
I`m happy to know I`m not the only one posseses with butterflies! LOL
I just watch one of your prima videos and found my way to you briliant blog. I must say that passover is one of the less liked holidays (hate that mazza bread and the stomech aches to follow LOL) But loved. loved the decorations that you`ve made 🙂
Usually we go to Israel every year for passover but it didnt work out this year 🙁
Looking forward to your next show, and I will email you a photo of the mini in a box that I have made after watching your tutorial X

I liked the idea of using paper from the book a lot, as it makes the decorative details somewhat random and interesting. Have you invented any more ideas with butterflies Julie?
There is a great butterfly animation set to Julian Cochran’s music
