Butterfly Toes

This was a really fun project. We made a set of Butterfly Feet for my hubby's office! The girls had a ton of fun getting their feet painted. So much fun in fact that I couldn't get a picture of me painting their feet for fear acrylic paint was going to end up all over my counter and clothes. (Acrylic paint doesn't come out of clothes, and I don't feel like scraping it off my counter. I know, not a fun mom.) But they did turn out super cute. The original pinterest pin has the feet on canvas, but I used stuff I had on hand.

 So I used acrylic paint, pipe cleaners, card stock, paint brush, and an old frame.
 I painted my little princesses' feet. It was hard because they're squirmy, but we got it done.
 I cut pipe cleaners to roll them for the antennae. The original pin uses thumb prints; I think both ideas are cute. Although the pipe cleaners get smashed in the frame, they still look cool.
Final product. I like it!

    1. It is super springy! I put them up in my husband's office and he has co-workers taking pictures so they can copy it for their spouse's. It's such a great idea. I'm so glad Pintrest is around to help with creative projects!
