I have loved arts and crafts all my life. the blunt scissors and flour paste and grocery bag paper of my childhood made way for dads lunchbox with rock and roll pictures glued to it for a cool purse- restyling reusing was a way of life for a poor family and my mom taught me to do it with style. now its a choice as a recycle up-cycle artist for many years I am happy to share ideas and art with all.

craft interests: holidays, home decorating, paper crafts, restyle, decoupage

Re: the wreath witch

I googled free butterfly template/pattern and got many to choose from then I downloaded and printed a few and traced on a clear plastic lid. cut and used to make many butterflies.
