I spent most of Sunday afternoon working on this and completely lost track of time. Really relaxing project.
I bought this because I wanted something creative to do at night besides scrolling. Ended up sitting at the table working on it for hours.
We worked on this over the weekend and had such a good time deciding where all the tiny pieces should go. She's already asking what we can make next.
There are so many little pieces to look at. I keep noticing details I missed the first time.
Mine isn't perfect, but I think that makes it even better. I had a lot of fun making it.
The butterfly centerpiece was definitely my favorite part. It gives the finished piece such an interesting vintage look.
Sorting through all the little materials and arranging everything was oddly calming. Exactly the kind of project I needed after a busy week.
I originally bought it just for something to do, but I actually love how the finished piece looks. I have it displayed with some of my books and little collectibles.
The shells, stones, butterfly and all the miniature pieces make it feel like a tiny curiosity cabinet. I love looking at it up close.
It rained almost the entire weekend, so this arrived at the perfect time. Put on a movie, made some coffee, and worked on this for a couple of hours.
I put this together for a friend who loves butterflies and vintage-looking things. I almost didn't want to give it away after I finished it.
I'm not usually someone who does miniature crafts, but this one caught my attention because it looked so unusual. Arranging all the tiny objects was probably my favorite part because you can make it feel like your own. I'm pretty proud of how mine turned out.
