Butterfly Crafts?

[tnx_soulanna]

Christmas is on its way and I really want to make my big (hopefully she's not reading this) something artsy-craftsy with butterflies. I've been looking online ALL DAY for something, but everything looks a little childish. Any ideas???

Maybe you could find a paddle in the shape of a butterfly and decorate it for her?

Or maybe get a picture frame and decorate it with butterfly stickers.

Or make one of those fabric covered photo albums and use butterfly fabric.

Sorry to crash.

Maybe, you could make her a velvet-embossed pillow http://www.azcentral.com/home/crafty...tyideas17.html but with butterfly stamps. Or this no-sew throw http://www.kidsmartliving.com/noname4.html but using a fleece with butterflies on it. Or if you do family lines, you could make her a felt banner with a family tree and each member of your family would be represented by a different colored felt butterfly with the sister's name underneath. Also, an alternative to paddles would be jewelry box (get a wooden box from a craft store and paint it), a wooden plaque (get one from a craft store and paint it), or a bulletin board with butterfly pushpins (get a plain bulletin board and paint the wooden frame and maybe even glue little wooden letters or little wooden butterflies).
