Adding a Little Punch~ Flowering & Fluttering Branches

My branches and burlap window dressing

in my Potting Shed were ready

for a spring metamorphosis!

I found the idea and inspiration for spring-flowering branches  at An Extraordinary Day~ using a paper punch to make book page flowers.

You can find the tutorial here.

My branches in my Potting Shed were

ready to shed their oak leaves and

 long overdue a spring face lift.

Instead of a book, I used photo copies

of my vintage seed catalog also used

 to create a wreath for my Potting Shed.

 A flower paper punch found at Hobby Lobby from The Paper Studio was used to cultivate :) 1 1/2 inch blossoms, which then sprouted from the branches with help of a glue gun.

This is a perfect little project for a rainy

afternoon or a day you need to be indoors!

I was all aflutter over the paper punches

that were 50% off at Hobby Lobby.

Like a butterfly seeking nectar, I found an ‘all over the page’  punch from Martha Stewart.

An ‘all over the page’ punch, as the name suggests lets you punch in the middle or anywhere on you paper, not just along the edge.

Magnets help the top of the punch align

with the bottom of your punch on your paper.

To attach the butterflies to the burlap temporarily,

I used a dot glue runner instead of a glue gun.

Before I realized it

I had a butterfly migration~

They found their way to my seed catalog wreath~

 before the metamorphosis pictured below~

And after the

butterfly migration~

Hope you’re enjoying a spring

metamorphosis where you are!
