An a desperate attempt to urge spring along, Baya and I decorated the back fence today with hundreds of beautiful, fluttering butterflies!
To start, we bough a couple hundred colored butterflies from… where else… Amazon. They’re a light but pretty sturdy plastic. We’d planned to glue them but realized very quickly that that wasn’t going to work.
We tried a couple different types of glue… including hot glue which required a sprint from the porch where the gun was plugged in. It tried WAY too quickly.
No problem!
We took a break for a quick trip to Michaels for a new staple gun. (We have one but, alas, no staples.) Once we had the right tools, the project progressed pretty quickly.
Baya placed every single one of these butterflies. I was just there to help out.
We were pretty pleased with how this came out! We don’t know how long they’ll last. We’re hoping until mid-June when we’ll switch. We’re already cooking up a plan for what’s next!
