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

Discover Your Unique Style with Second Chances by Macy Eleni

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.

Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.

What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.

Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.
