How to fold paper butterflies

January 8, 2015 by Stefanie Girard

Accordion-Butterfly-Party-Lanterns

When you pop on over to the blog Daily Fix you will be so surprised at how simple the pattern is that creates these darling folded butterflies. UPDATE: The link to this project doesn’t work but I found a new one at the blog DIY INSPIRED. The possibilities are endless as to what they could be used for. I would put them on gifts, a summer mobile and even if they were made from stabilized fabric – headbands and pins. They can be made with new or recycled paper or fabric.

    Hello, Your link to the paper butterfly instructions does not work. Actually it takes me to a site that is not even related to the topic. Could you please fix/amend the link and let me know when it is done? Thank you so much. Kathie

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.

This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.

What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care

  • A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall

If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
