Butterflies on the wall in the photo in the shape of a heart:

By the way, to make the wall panel look most original, cut out not symmetrical, but slightly uneven marigolds, i.e. nothing bad will happen if the wings on both sides are slightly different, in general, if there is some asymmetry.

In general, for applications in the form of these wonderful insects, you can use everything that comes to hand: printing paper, wallpaper scraps, fabric, plastic bottles, tin cans, colored cardboard and even vinyl records.

Decorative butterflies made from plates

There are probably old records lying around the house that you certainly won’t listen to, or ones that are no longer possible to listen to due to their old age. So these will make excellent wall moths.

To do this, you will again need butterfly stencils for the wall, plates, chalk, sharp scissors, and an oven.

Using the template, transfer the contours of the moth onto the plate, touching its center.

The plate should be placed on foil, placed on a baking sheet and placed in a preheated oven on the top rack. Very quickly the plate will become pliable, then you need to take it out and try to quickly cut the workpiece.

Now the wings need to be slightly bent, and now the blank for wall decor is ready. Make as many of these beauties as possible various sizes and distribute around the room.

Retro wall with butterflies

Paper fluttering from old books and newspapers will fit chicly into the retro interior. What you will need:

• old books and newspapers;
• scissors;
• glue;
• white paint;
• photo frames of different shapes.

From old issues and books you need to cut out blanks of different shapes and different sizes. Then several blanks of different shapes need to be glued together with little bodies to get this composition:

The prepared frames need to be painted in white and place it on the wall. And place the moth in the frames. It looks very cozy and stylish.

Nylon tights will help you

What just doesn’t go into use folk art. So the butterflies in the interior can also be made from multi-colored tights. What is needed for this:

• wire;
• tights;
• needle nose pliers;
• beads for decoration.

As you may have guessed, you need to create the frame of the future swallowtail from wire. Now this frame needs to be covered with a piece of tights. Make sure that the frame does not fall apart, tighten the material tightly. When the base is ready, you can stick beads on it or decorate it with fabric paints.

For the composition, you need to make at least 15, or even 20, such swallowtails. You can take children's nylon tights and any other suitable transparent fabric, the main thing is that it can be easily tightened.

Butterflies made of clay or plaster

You can make butterflies on the wall with your own hands from ordinary polymer clay, which is sold in a craft store. Plaster of Paris will also work.

Take the clay, roll it out slightly, not too thin, but not too thick, so that the moths look graceful. Now use a baking mold to mold the blanks. You also need to make a hole in them so that you can hang them later. We send the blanks to the oven to simmer.

When all the beauties are ready, you need to thread them decorative tape or any suitable rope and place it in the interior. Pushpins are also suitable for these purposes.

Glowing butterflies

How to decorate a room with glowing fireflies? Prepare the following materials:

• special phosphor paint;
• stencils for butterflies on the wall;
• sponge;
• brush.

Prepare several stencils. Let each have its own example.

Now the stencil needs to be attached to the wall with glue. And then you need to apply paint using a sponge.

You can apply several colors at once to get a 3D effect.

Arrange natural beauties randomly, as if they were a flock of fireflies that had just taken off. This decor will fit wonderfully into a children's room, especially for the youngest children, who will look at everything around them with joy and interest.

Openwork butterflies

Openwork and perforated paper butterflies look gorgeous. And they're pretty easy to make.

To make the workpiece neat and elegant, it is better to print the stencil in advance.

Now prepare the basis for the future openwork - photo paper, colored double-sided paper or bright leaves from glossy magazines will do.

A sheet of paper should be folded in half and placed on some kind of stand, maybe on plywood. Better secure it with tape to prevent fidgeting.

Now you need to attach your template and carefully, using a pencil, transfer the contours onto paper.

Then, using a utility knife, carefully cut out the openwork wings. Then, using nail scissors, cut out the openwork itself.

The more blanks of different sizes you cut out, the more amazing and impressive the panel will look in the interior. In addition, you can decorate the wall with butterflies, either plain or multi-colored, bright, cheerful.

Volumetric panel of butterflies on the wall

Another technique for 3D butterflies on the wall. To work, we will need the usual set: glossy multi-colored paper, old magazines, scissors, stencil, glue or double-sided tape, foam rubber will do.

First you need to cut the magazine sheets into strips. The stripes should be the same width as the future insects.

Let there be stripes different widths, so that the templates do not turn out the same.

Now, using a stencil, draw the contours of the butterflies to cut them out of the prepared paper.

In order for the composition to truly create a 3D effect, on the workpiece, with reverse side, you can stick a piece of foam rubber.

Now you can safely glue your bright insects to the wallpaper or you can make a composition in a frame.

It is believed that butterflies should be literally in every home and in every room, because they bring positive energy and put you in a positive mood. But, as with everything, the main thing is not to overdo it; try to create different compositions in advance so that they look harmonious and impressive. For example, a tree with butterflies:

Or moving from one wall to another and to the ceiling:

By the way, with the help of this technique they make a conditional division of the room into different zones: It comes out very original and inexpensive.

Don't forget about origami

Origami can be a successful way to decorate the interior with butterflies; this art should not be dismissed. The main thing is to master the creation technique and that’s it, consider it beautiful and original wall you already have. We offer the following butterfly patterns:

These beauties can be immediately glued to the wall using tape, or you can make a hole in each one, thread a thread and make a floating composition. Place the beauties at different levels and distances, then the composition will seem more voluminous.

By the way, a similar composition can be created from openwork. You already know how to make them. There is nothing complicated about this, connect the butterflies as if you were decorating curtains from threads. You can also use a wooden ring, to which you need to tie strings with pre-attached decorations, you will get a kind of chandelier.

When decorating the interior, do not focus only on the wall, because the decor can be placed on the ceiling, on furniture, along the stairs, on mirrors, curtains, windows and even on the floor.

Remember the combination of colors in interior design: if the room is designed in pastel colors, then butterflies can play the role of a bright spot, but if the interior is rich, “active,” then monochromatic, perhaps even muted tones, will do. Cabbage pots of the same color look very stylish in combination with some decorative elements or furniture.

They also look wonderful in a children’s room, and it doesn’t matter whether the room is a girl’s or a boy’s. Believe me, everyone loves butterflies. It will be especially nice if you involve the children themselves in creating the decor. It's an amazing time.

Mobile made of tin butterflies

A unique mobile of cabbage bowls made from tin cans will look impressive.

So, using a stencil or by eye, if you have filled your hand, try to evenly cut out the beauties from tin cans. Then each workpiece must be attached to a wire, which, in turn, must be secured to the wall. The effect will be amazing when, from a light breeze, the butterflies will flutter as if alive. A little advice, instead of a tin can, you can use foil or you can combine these two materials.

And this is what a whole panel looks like - decorating the walls with butterflies:

Creating such interior items with your own hands often becomes the best way out from the situation, besides, such needlework brings a lot of pleasure - both in the process and in the end result. Today, moths and butterflies have become a popular type of home decoration. These creatures fluttering along the walls can evoke a lot of positive emotions, reminiscent of beautiful sunny days. We will devote our article to an overview of the various possibilities for decorating walls with butterflies yourself, and will also consider methods for making them.

Wall compositions from butterflies

Butterflies in the interior of a particular room can be presented in different ways: they are placed in the form of panels, scattered in chaotic or ordered compositions, used to decorate certain areas (for example, around lamps, artificial trees, etc.) or painted on the walls, often using glowing colors. One has only to look at the photo of a beautiful panel in the form of a scarlet heart made of butterflies, and you will immediately want to place this romantic composition in your bedroom.

The advantage of moth decor is its ability to complement the interior of any room, regardless of its functional purpose and present style. It is important to choose the right color scheme so that it matches overall design. For example, on beige wall Red or green moths will look great, and black ones on white. In the children's room you can create multi-colored pictures of butterflies fluttering merrily over the crib, and in the living room you can decorate an empty wall with a swirl of plain butterflies.

Glowing moths created using special paints look incredibly beautiful. In the evening they become original decoration rooms, enlivening it and filling it with mystery.

DIY butterflies on the wall: manufacturing methods

If you decide to decorate your apartment with such decorations yourself, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the various methods of making butterflies. Although the work will require some expense, time and perseverance, the result, believe me, will undoubtedly please you. To make the composition look more natural, it is better to make moths of different shapes and sizes for it, using templates that you can draw yourself or take ready-made ones from the Internet.

How to make butterflies from paper and cardboard

The easiest way to make paper butterflies. To do this, you can take white sheets and decorate the winged beauties at your discretion, or get a set of colored paper. The advantage of this material is that it is easy to work with, so it is quite possible to involve a child in the production by decorating, for example, a panel of butterflies in a nursery. In addition to paper, you will need supplies such as scissors, templates, pencils, and PVA glue (for bulky items).

There are two ways to make a paper butterfly. The first is to take a ready-made template and use it to transfer the outline of the moth onto a sheet of paper and cut it out using scissors. The second method is simpler. First, cut out a square (rectangle) from paper, fold it in half, apply a half butterfly template to the fold line, trace it with a pencil and cut it out. Then we unfold it and get a beautiful moth. The advantage of butterflies cut out of paper is their airiness - if a slight draft blows, their wings will move as if they were real.

You can make the butterfly wings more elegant by cutting out pre-drawn ones using nail scissors or a stationery knife. internal parts. To make a lush butterfly, cut out two identical paper blanks different colors or the same, and then glued together. In this case, the lower plane - the base - can be simple, and the upper one can be decorated with patterns or cutouts. Double-sided tape is used for fastening.

The cardboard butterfly is also cut out in two ways - using a full or half-template. You can use not only ordinary colored cardboard as a base - multi-colored moths cut out from old postcards and magazines look beautiful.

Corrugated paper butterflies

One of the successful ways to make a three-dimensional butterfly is to use corrugated paper. To do this, you additionally need to prepare a needle and thread. On sale you can find material of various variegated colors and create a real colored butterfly cloud.

First you need to cut out a strip of paper measuring 7x10 cm (you can use other sizes depending on the desired size of the butterfly). Using a needle and thread, we form an accordion in the central part and tighten it, as shown in the photo. We fold the resulting side panels, connect them and, slightly stretching them to the sides, get rid of the folds - we have two wings, which now need to be given a beautiful wavy shape. You need to cut out two wings at the same time, not forgetting to also select areas for the antennae. In this case, templates are not needed - you can give the shape at your discretion.

At the final stage, we unfold and straighten the workpiece, and twist the antennae with our fingers. The butterfly is ready!

Paper origami butterfly

A beautiful, voluminous butterfly can be made using the origami technique. Making it is a little more difficult than in previous cases, however, when you make a couple of these beauties, things will go much faster. Beginners need to use schemes for such work, of which there are quite a lot on the World Wide Web, and be patient and persevering. The art of origami does not stand still, constantly evolving, so there are various ways to fold butterflies - from simple to modular, capable of moving wings, etc. Since we are learning how to make an origami butterfly for wall decor, you can use a simplified technique.

First you need to cut out a paper square, bend it along possible diagonals and twice through the center. Opposite sides fold it, and bend the lower corner tops, turn them over - you get a double triangle. We bend its tip so that the tip is located above the entire part, after which we wrap it and fold it in half along the central guide. On final stage fold the part twice. When making a voluminous butterfly in this way, you do not need to intensively smooth out the folds.

Making butterflies from fabric

Knowing the origami technique, you can make a magnificent butterfly from fabric. To do this, you will need two rectangular pieces of different fabrics of the same size. We sew them together along the perimeter - we get a base fabric, from which, following step by step diagram, presented below, we form the product. To fix all the necessary folds and the final structure, use an iron. Butterflies made of fabric will be an excellent decoration for the room. You can use materials in your work various colors and structures including tulle and lace.

Butterflies from tin cans

If you still have empty drink cans, do not rush to throw them in the trash bin - they may become excellent material for making shiny winged beauties. Use scissors to cut top part and the bottom of the jar, cut it in half, obtaining a base sheet. Next, we will use the template and apply the image of the moth to the surface, cut it out, giving the edges a wavy appearance. To prevent the wings from curling, you can give them a corrugated finish by making longitudinal indentations with the blunt side of a knife or scissors. The resulting blank is decorated using multi-colored markers.

DIY glowing butterflies

Glowing moths look amazing and excellent in the interior, capable of charming with their mystery in dark time days. In this case, their images will be applied to the wall using phosphor paints. To get the glow effect, you need to make sure that there is some kind of light source next to the decor.

So, for work you will need paints of different colors, a sponge, a brush, spray glue and stencils. First, we prepare stencils of future moths from cardboard and glue them to the wall. We wrap a piece of sponge to a brush and use this simple tool to decorate the butterflies. To better understand which paints will look best, it is better to carry out work in twilight. After application, you need to wait a quarter of an hour and remove the stencils. The paints will dry completely in two hours, after which you need to trace the contours with a pencil. To “revive” the composition, you can apply additional strokes of paint near the wings. The decor is ready. Let's turn off the lights and admire the beauty of our glowing, fluttering moths.

In the interior

Butterflies in the interior are presented in the form of a panel, which is made from a variety of sheet material, and then mounted in an elegant applique on one wall or several at once. There are many options for materials for creating butterflies, as well as many variations in how to hang them; it is the combination of these factors that affects exactly how the presented decorative element will look in the interior.

Butterflies can be mounted on the wall, either in any form or create a single three-dimensional picture.

Attention! If you make this decorative element with your own hands, it is recommended to select a lighter material, then when the wind blows, the butterflies will rustle their wings, creating the effect of being ready to fly up.

The presented decorative element is suitable for decorating almost any style, but they look especially bright if you have the following room design styles:

• Provence;
• hi-tech;
• modern;
• minimalism;
• classic.

The main thing is to ensure that the color of the butterflies matches the overall color scheme interior design, because otherwise the decoration will turn out to be ridiculous and tasteless. But it is desirable that the butterflies differ in color by at least 1-2 tones, since otherwise they will simply merge with the walls.

The following combination will be organic:

• red and green on a beige wall;
• Yellow, brown and black on a gray or white wall;
• rich blues or reds on a pink wall.

Preparing for work

To create a picture of paper moths, you need to carefully consider the future composition, and then begin preparing stencils. If your own imagination does not suggest any ideas, then you can find photographs of compositions with wall butterflies on the Internet. The image of a whirlwind or simply a scattering of moths in suitable places is popular.

Having decided on the future composition, you need to select the material from which they will be made. decorative elements, and create a stencil. When you are away from home necessary materials, you will have to visit any stationery store or arts and crafts store.

Moths are created on plain paper or vinyl film using stencils. It is advisable to purchase several stencils, then when mounted on the wall, the butterflies will differ not only in size, but also in appearance, which will look more original.

What material should I use?

You can cut moths from almost all materials:

• paper;
• cardboard;
• vinyl film;
• textile.

All presented materials are characterized by a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Paper

The presented material is suitable for people who are encountering interior decoration with butterflies for the first time, since paper is the easiest way to create beautiful butterflies. Due to the low cost of the material, you don’t have to worry about how much paper it will take to cut out butterflies. You can opt for colored paper, which can be purchased at any stationery store.

If a person prefers variety, then you don’t have to stop at just one color and cut out moths from glossy magazines you’ve read a long time ago. As a result, the home owners will become the owners of a decoration consisting of butterflies of different colors.

You can attach butterflies from this material in any way. The big advantage is that when the moths are fully glued, they will not stand out much above the wall surface, but if you glue only the central part of each individual butterfly, then you can make them sway in the wind.

Cardboard

Moths made from cardboard will be several times stronger and more reliable than paper ones. When cutting out such butterflies, you will have to put in a little more effort, but you have the opportunity to shape them the way you want, since the cardboard easily takes the shape and retains it forever.

You can bend the wings of insects or make them rounded. To carry out these actions, you need to slightly wet the cardboard and, using a weight, bend it in the desired way. Once completely dry, the cardboard will forever remain in the desired form.

Difficulties may arise when attaching cardboard decorative elements, since they will have to be secured more securely.

Vinyl film

Vinyl film, which is a self-adhesive material, is simply ideal for creating decorative moths. The film is glossy and colorful, as a result of which the moths are not only characterized by quite bright colors, but also shimmer in the light.

Cutting butterflies from such material is quite easy, and attaching the resulting butterfly to the wall is even easier, since you only need to remove it from the film protective layer, and then glue it in the desired place. If the apartment owners want the moth to move its wings, then the protective layer must be removed only in the center, in the form of a thin vertical strip.

Textile

The fabric is ideal material to create butterflies if the walls are decorated with liquid plain wallpaper, drapery or any fabric that is soft to the touch. Moths cut from the specified material will only complement the interior, adding coziness to the room.

How to attach?

In order for the created moths to stay firmly on the wall and not fall off the next day, it is important to be especially careful when selecting a fastening method; there are several of them.

Glue

Using glue to attach butterflies to the wall, the apartment owner can be sure that the described decorative elements will hold tightly. You can use any glue, either in the form of a pencil or PVA. The main thing is to make sure that you do not use a very large amount of glue, as it will protrude beyond the edges of the moths and ruin them appearance, leaving marks on the wallpaper.

Glue is considered in a simple way fastening the presented decorative elements to the wall.

Pins

To attach the butterflies you created yourself, you can use pins of different sizes and shapes. At the same time, to add butterflies to a picture of butterflies held together with pins, the pins should be selected with some kind of beautiful head or decorated with different pearls. Pins are suitable in cases where the walls are finished plastic panels, regular or cork wood, as well as plasterboard.

If wallpaper was used as wall decoration, then you can perform a slightly different action. Using pliers or pliers, bend the end of the pin 1-2 centimeters at an angle of 90 degrees. Having completed these steps, the bent end of the pin is placed under the wallpaper, thus securing the moth.

Attention! To connect a pin and a butterfly, use Moment glue.

Foam plastic

Take a small piece of polystyrene foam and, using glue, connect it to the butterfly on one side and to the wall on the other. This mounting option is quite unreliable, since foam plastic is not a strong enough material and if it breaks, it will be very difficult to separate the remaining part from the wall.

Threads

Using thin threads or fishing line, the moths are suspended from the ceiling or chandelier by a cornice. This method of fastening makes it possible to create a three-dimensional picture.

Wall decoration with glowing butterflies

To create this type of design, the butterfly should be attached to a white wall, and a table lamp should be located nearby.

1. Initially, you need to make several stencils, which are attached to the wall with glue.
2. The sponges are cut into several parts, each of which is attached to the handle of the brush.

4. Once the paint is completely dry, remove the stencils, turn off the lights, and then enjoy unusual appearance glowing butterflies.

Attention! To analyze whether the paint is applied correctly, it is recommended to carry out the described actions in dim light.

5. The two tips of the top layer of the triangle are bent towards the apex.
6. The triangle is turned over to the side, while the bottom corner needs to be bent up so that it extends beyond the moth.
7. The formed triangle is bent to the other side and glued to the base.
8. The edges of the wings are darkened.
9. A bird with bent wings is created from wire.
