Claire Selby Recycled paper craft

Don’t throw away those little scraps of paper!! They are a treasure trove just waiting to get delved into! With this adorable paper craft you can use a punch or cut out by hand, just go through your stash of left over paper and combine in a sweet colorway. For my Colors I choose palest pink, golden yellow, taupes and browns. This would be a great Baby gift or girls room decor. Most of the papers are Stampin’ up and other Acid Free Scrapbooking paper. The pale pinks are from Paper Source and a Martha Stewart paper pack. I had fun mixing the textures of my paper from sheer, to glittered, to even fabric scraps from a West Elm store! You will need a ruler to at least line up the bottom row and the side row that way everything is nice and tidy! I glued down all of my paper with Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue™. I also used the tacky glue to apply vintage mica flakes and fine champagne colored glitter to 2 of the butterflies. For the last row I added some machine stitching to the butterflies. I’m so happy to be able to recycle my scraps of paper into a fun to make craft instead of just tossing them!
