- rustic;
- teeming with technology;
- ascetic;
- stingy;
- noble classics.
The main thing is that miniature appliqués are in harmony in color with the overall interior. Otherwise, they will look ridiculous and tasteless. Just do not need to make butterflies from paper of the same tone as the walls, they will simply merge with the background and will be almost invisible.

Advice! Having clearly imagined the future composition or drawing up a sketch on paper, you need to mark the lines of the location of the butterflies on the walls with a pencil. This will make it possible not to deviate from what was planned, which may well happen during the gluing of the elements.
Bright, shiny butterflies come from old, long-read magazines. Photos of butterflies can be taken from the Internet and printed on glossy paper. In order for the applications to shimmer with multi-colored lights, they are coated with acrylic varnish with the addition of glitter. The effect is amazing! No less tempting look compositions with fluorescent paint.
Advice! When fixing butterflies on the wall, only their middle should be fixed, and the wings should remain completely free and bent, creating volume.
Fabric composition and painted butterflies
If the room is finished liquid wallpaper, decor with butterflies on the wall - perfect solution, but as a material it is better to choose the cloth. Any will do variegated or plain patches which are sure to be found in any home. For fastening it is better to use PVA.

Drawn moths look no less luxurious. To create a unique composition you will need:

An unusual effect is achieved by a combination of ordinary butterflies with openwork ones. To do this, cut out two butterflies according to a pattern of the same size, but different in color, and the wings of one butterfly are solid, and the other with patterns.
In order not to cut out the same shape several times, fold the paper in such a way that you get several butterflies at once.

- We sew the rectangle with a thread in the middle, we tighten it, as a result we get a bow.
- Fold it in half, smooth out the wings.
- From one edge we cut off a small strip for antennae. With scissors, cut out the pattern along the edge of the wings.
- We turn the cut off strip into a tube, forming a mustache.
- We turn the wings inside out and carefully smooth them, giving them the desired shape.
4. From cans

Attach them with bulky double-sided tape so that they rise above the level of the picture. If this is not available, then you can insert a piece of foam rubber between the adhesive tape.
