So pretty! Once again, such a great job. You would never know how freezing it was outside with how warm the decor made the room!

I wanted to let readers know that Micheals has a bunch of butterfly stuff out right now in the dollar sections…they had some cute glitter clip-on butterflies!

Thanks, Kendall! Love the idea of dressing up the window baubles with butterflies too!

I got the butterflies at a local design/craft store in San Diego, but I’m sure you could find them online too.

This website has the exact same ones – but it looks like they also have order minimums of around 3 pieces. I used just one of these white butterfly garlands (which actually already are on fishing wire, so I cut the garland up to use them individually) – and one box of small 3″ butterflies for the entire room – so a little goes a long way!

The yellow & black monarch butterflies are from Century Novelty and they have lots more options as well!

So cute Jenn! Where did you get the glittery butterflies? And did you have any sort of stencil for the ones you cut out to go on the drinks?

Joanna gave me the idea of using butterflies on fishing wire to dress up my window baubles this spring (i know, way ahead of myself) and I wanted to know where I could find them!

Also, where do you find the twigs and branches. I’m guessing you just spray paint them?
