Take the butterflies fabric you have to kinkos, get a color copy on regular paper, and hit the craft store on the way home for some ModPodge - it's glue and sealer all in one. just cut out the butterflies, paste them on (after you've painted of course) then after they've dried on, paint an entire layer of ModPodge over the whole front to seal it. Talk about easy - and then you'll have a <i>really</i> matched set!Weston Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843103061151969540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913587525785298444.post-5898765249547712712008-12-12T18:54:00.000-06:002008-12-12T18:54:00.000-06:00Ooo, off topic, but I saw this and thought it was ...Ooo, off topic, but I saw this and thought it was perfect timing!<br><br>You haven't put up your tree yet, right?

I've read in quite a few places (and agree with them) that displayed objects look better in odd numbers. If they only come in another pair, why not? They're only 50 cents and you'll have a back up if one breaks. They also say (and again I agree) that they look better when at multiple heights. Maybe get a pretty cigar box or a slice of wood or something for one of them to stand on?<br><br>On another note: Any overhead projectors at your school? If so, see if you can borrow one. Print a pretty butterfly design/mosaic onto a transparency and project it onto the wall. Trace with pencil. Color in with paint. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. ;)aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946968627887624127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913587525785298444.post-53270115478274218682008-12-07T17:05:00.000-06:002008-12-07T17:05:00.000-06:00And I just loved the part in your description of h...And I just loved the part in your description of how you put a handful of rocks that you have had for about five years into the bottom of the glass.Joe Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14945424688397175802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913587525785298444.post-27340847787954171622008-12-07T17:03:00.000-06:002008-12-07T17:03:00.000-06:00Looks great!Looks great!Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10060391179766790832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913587525785298444.post-37706411198257750982008-12-07T16:40:00.000-06:002008-12-07T16:40:00.000-06:00I agree with what Korey said.
