Springtime School Room Decor
 Springtime is on it's way! The sun is coming out to warm the world around us and a myriad of new life is awakening. The birds are beginning to chirp and the flowers will soon be blooming. Children will be watching beautiful butterflies that have emerged from their cocoons, flitting from bloom to bloom performing the tasks that will spread the pollen from flower to flower and bring spring into the full bloom of summer. We celebrate the new life that blossoms every year and implores us to refocus and start anew. More than any other time of year, we can feel the hope and promise that the future holds. What better way to celebrate a new beginning than to welcome it into our spaces? From the home to the schoolroom, spring decor will bring liveliness and bliss into the atmosphere.
 Schoolrooms can be turned into a wonderfully enchanting springtime garden oasis by using various types of easily applied items to invoke the feel of spring. Wonderful touches like sun and cloud wall stickers, flowers painted on the walls or applied with wall stickers, and even beautiful nylon butterflies in magical flight can make the space perfect. Decorate your walls with butterfly or springtime alphabet wall stickers for the younger grades, to engage their imaginations while still learning the basics. The children can be involved in the decorating by helping to either decide the location of the letters or helping to place the decor for a feeling of accomplishment in creating such blissful elegance. In the study of springtime happenings, butterflies are perfect. Butterflies are great way to introduce several science lessons, a variety of art projects and even field trips. From simple sparkling wings, to enchanting and brightly colored jewels adorning the wings, you can find a variety of beautiful, elegant and graceful nylon butterflies to use in your classroom. They simply add a magical and enchanting feel. The children can each make their own nylon butterflies and add them to the decor of the room. Mixing them in with nylon butterflies you've purchased and attaching them to clear fishing line stretched across the room invites ownership from the children as they have assisted and personalized the room. Bringing spring into the classroom through topic selection and decor, especially with a butterfly theme, will literally transform your learning environment into a fairytale world that that captures young imaginations. Activating the imagination will bring more focus and enhance the learning experience.

Butterfly Themed Nursery Ideas
Decorating your baby's nursery in a butterfly theme is a beautiful way to brighten the room for your baby girl. Butterflies are delicate creatures, each unique in their intricate designs and colors. There are creative ways you can bring the beauty of butterflies into the nursery in an elegant way that looks well put together and enhances the feel of the room.
Choosing Items
Choose a few key butterfly items for your nursery rather than overwhelming the room with everything butterfly-themed. Additional items can be coordinated to match the butterfly's colors. Your colors should be bright, as babies prefer these over pastels. Newborns, however, prefer black and white due to the contrast of shades, which is easier for them to see.
Hanging Butterflies
Take small hooks and screw them into the ceiling. Find large butterflies at Bugs-n-Blooms that can be hung from the hooks using fishing line. They'll fly around as the breeze hits them and delight the baby from her crib.
Wall Decals
Use butterfly wall decals to decorate the walls. Bugs-n-Blooms has vinyl wall decal stickers that are custom in your choice of colors. With a large color palette, you can match the decals to the colors in your baby's nursery. You can pick up other decals that work well with the butterfly theme, such as clouds for the ceiling or flowers for the butterflies to sit on.
Crib and Bedding
Decorate her crib with a few butterfly items and solid colors to coordinate. The bedding should be simple with a few butterfly items standing out from the rest. While the crib sheet can be a solid bold color, the blanket can be a colorful array of butterflies. The mobile is a great way to showcase hanging butterflies. Since butterflies are one of the more popular themes for babies, you'll be able to find several selections of butterfly mobiles available at their store, both online and in-store.
Butterfly Rug
Complete the room with a large butterfly rug or several smaller ones. You can find rugs that have an assortment of butterflies on them to rugs that are in the shape of a large butterfly.

Butterfly Birthday Party Ideas
Butterfly Invitations
You can use a large colorful picture of a butterfly for your butterfly birthday party invitations. Make photocopies and cut out the invitations. Include your party details on the butterfly wings.
The wording of your butterfly birthday invitations can say: "Butterflies are pretty and fly so free - come to (name of your child)'s 6th (7th, etc.) birthday tea. There will be games to play and wings to make. We will enjoy a butterfly cake. So dress up as pretty as you can be, and join the fun at (name of your child)'s Butterfly Tea." Then include all your butterfly birthday party details.
You can make butterfly party invitations more personal. Draw (with a help of your child) a butterfly on the front of the invitation card (make sure the butterfly is big enough). Then make color copies of your picture for the rest of the invitations. Write the above wording inside you invitations and mail.
Butterfly Decorations
You can create a special atmosphere with your butterfly party decorations.
 Decorate a gate (or any other area in front of your house) with a banner "The Butterfly Birthday Party is Here!" Tie balloons (mylar butterfly balloons are best) to pinwheels, and then stick the pinwheels in the ground by the walkway leading to your house. Have colorful paper streamers everywhere around your backyard.
Hang nylon butterflies on strings from the ceiling inside the house. Place any butterfly related toys (e.g. flowers, bugs, etc.) around the butterfly birthday party area. Attach butterfly posters to the walls for colorful effect.
Cover your table with table cover with mini butterflies on it. You can attach colorful ribbons to flower pots, and have one or two of them for table centerpiece.
Tie a large butterfly mylar balloon to birthday child's seat. Make a huge banner "Happy Birthday (Your child's name)!", and hang it by the table area.
Butterfly Favors
 For your butterfly party favors you can have such items as butterfly stickers, bean bags, butterfly hair clips, sunglasses, toy butterflies, flower seeds, gummy caterpillars, and butterfly shaped rings.
Butterfly Birthday Cake
Butterfly Cake: Bake 9" round cake and one cupcake.
Cut cake in half. Place curved edges of the cut halves side by side. This should resemble butterfly wings. Frost the cake with white icing and decorate it with candies and gumdrops.
Place the cupcake above "the wings" to resemble butterfly's head. Place licorice for antennae and gumdrops for eyes.
Butterfly Food Ideas
- Butterfly Bagels: Slice bagels in half. Split the halves again in the middle resulting in four half circles per bagel.
- Butterfly Sandwich: Cut bread in the form of butterfly wings. Add a celery stick body, cherry tomato and carrot stick antennae. Put veggie pieces on the bread for "spots".
- Butterfly Treats: Cut celery into small pieces. Fill them with peanut butter, cream cheese or other spread. Put a pretzel on each side of the celery to form wings. Use broken pretzel pieces for antennae and raisins for eyes.
- Caterpillar Gelatin: Prepare gelatin according to directions on the package. Add gummy worms - so every gelatin cube has a caterpillar. And then refrigerate.

Girl Room Decorating Ideas, Garden Theme Bedroom Decorations
Whether you opt for a room full of flowers or butterflies or go with a garden or tea party theme your daughter’s room – it’s easy to create the room of her dreams with a few creative touches. Following is a collection of garden and butterfly related theme ideas. I hope the following ideas inspire some girl room ideas of your own. Flower Power For a cool retro look think bright oranges, sunny yellows, lime greens, and watermelon pinks. Look for vibrant wall borders and fabrics with simple flower shapes. Team girl room colors up with solid colored bedding and window treatments. Use flower prints again on throw cushions and in an area rug. Go one step further and trace some of the flower shapes from the border or fabric and create random floral patterns on your child’s wall and then paint to match the colors elsewhere in her kid room. Or you could display the tops of some bright and colorful flowers in simple frames and use to bring her girl room theme together. Butterflies When it comes to girl rooms - butterflies are big! Since butterflies are a popular theme room idea for girls, the kid room decorating market offers many fun fabrics and accessories that will easily bring a butterfly theme together. A kid room mural featuring a garden and butterflies is a great place to start or you could opt for summery pink or yellow painted walls and make a butterfly comforter or quilt the focal point of the room instead. Other girl room theme ideas include painting butterflies or using reusable stickers on furniture and accenting a lampshade, curtain, thin picture frame or bulletin board with butterfly hair clips. Garden party For another take on a feminine girl room consider soft pinks, gentle violets and mellow yellows to create a garden party theme your daughter will cherish for years to come. Consider airy curtains and soft floral or thin striped fabrics. For a custom look hang your child’s curtains from a wooden dowel (painted white) to which the ends of dollar store hand tools have been affixed (remove the handles first). What about a garden trellis, a picket fence or lattice headboard? Hanging artificial flowers and butterflies from the ceiling (use fishing line and a screw eye) is also a great idea. Or how about using white lattice on the bottom half of your child’s wall and painting the top part of her walls blue and sponging on some white fluffy clouds? Alternatively you could try your hand at painting a wall mural or simply put up a ready-made one. Reusable wall stickers and a decorative wall border would also be a good way of bringing her garden party theme together. Creative storage ideas that tie in well with this girl room theme include using three extra large terra-cotta-looking plastic pots to throw toys into and a variety of individual white painted wooden pegs or peg racks for storing items in mesh bags. White painted furniture and a child’s table and chair set in a corner would be the ideal spot for a tea party with friends.

Butterfly Nursery Decor
The nursery is where a baby sleeps, plays and spends a lot of time with his parents. Because of the amount of time spent in the room, decorating the nursery is important. As she grows, she'll begin to notice the things that surround her. The decor of the nursery should be comforting, relaxing and nice to look at. Butterflies are a soothing decor theme for a nursery that is appropriate for boys and girls.
Walls:
Nursery walls should be given a coat of lead-free paint. Select colors that go best with the furniture and theme of your butterfly decor. For example, if you'll be painting butterflies in flight, first paint your walls light sky blue as a background. Alternately, paint walls light pink, yellow or light green. On one wall, paint a mural of a field of flowers, then add construction-paper butterflies to give the wall a three-dimensional look. Put the butterflies up high enough that little hands can't get them. Or use a projector to light up the walls with butterfly images.
Refurbished Furniture:
To continue the theme, decorate the nursery's furniture with butterflies. Recycle an older child's bed or find a new bed at a yard sale or flea market. Wash down the bed and let it dry. Paint the frame in a light color such as white or cream. Stencil or decoupage butterflies all along the bed. Put a few on the inside so the baby can look at the butterflies. The same can be done with an old dresser.
Ceiling Butterflies:
Large nylon butterfly purchased from Bugs-n-Blooms can be hung from the ceiling using the included fishing string and eye hooks. Paint the hooks the same color as the ceiling so you can't see them. Spread the butterflies around so if the wind blows, the strings won't get tangled. Also keep them high enough off the ground that kids can't pull them or hurt themselves with them. Add some over the baby's bed in place of a mobile. Use butterflies in a variety of colors, styles at varied heights.

Wedding Decorating Ideas - Table Centerpieces
Creating A Wedding Centerpiece is Easy! Here's How:
 1. Start by selecting an attractive clear glass container for the centerpiece. Here, an elevated bowel on a glass pedestal was used, but feel free to use a more standard style of bowl for equally lovely effects.
2. Fill the container with fresh water.
3. Select your floating candles.
4. Place the floating candles in the water. To mimic the look in the photo, crowd the candles in the container - for this particular container, four candles was about all it could hold, and we crammed them in! If you prefer a different look, use fewer candles.
5. It's the rose petals that really cap off the look in this particular centerpiece design and give it that super-romantic, super-soft visual effect. Just place the petals on water and around the candles, and be sure to also sprinkle them on the table, around the centerpiece to finish that wonderful setting!
 Butterflies flutter and float gracefully atop a pretty bowl of water in this mesmerizing table centerpiece design - More of the magic which can be created simply with the use of floating candles! Use the butterfly candles on their own, or combine with floral floating candles to create additional interest within the design. Consider combining with floating candles, a perfect compliment to the look with their delicate petals. Perhaps the most popular variety of orchid, and is known as the 'butterfly orchid" because its delicate petals resemble the wing of a butterfly, unfolding in velvety color.
 Bowls of flowers and floating candles make a very pretty presentation for table centerpieces, and have the added benefit of being extremely easy to assemble. Pictured above, pastel colors set the perfect tone for a spring wedding. A large silk floral bloom is immersed in an elegant clear glass bowl. In keeping with the floral theme, four floating rose-shaped candles in a combination of pastel colors float on the surface of the water. The arrangement is placed on the center of the table atop a table runner in coordinating pastel mauve. To add to the look, small flower pots of votive candles surrounded by pastel roses are placed in alternating positions along the center of the rectangular table, on both sides of the floating candle display. For a final finishing touch, faux rose petals are scattered delicately around the table.

Making Butterfly Decor for a Nursery
Planning Your Theme
Butterfly themed nurseries are all the rage for a newborn girl's room. The colors of this theme are shades of pinks, purples, greens and delicate yellows. These hues can evoke a sense of new life and vitality. Choosing fabrics depending on what pieces you will be sewing, you can choose from an endless array of fabrics when making bedding, window treatments, wall hangings, pillows and cushions for your new room. After you have picked your colors and fabrics, you can use a piece of each one to make a baby quilt. You may choose to keep the background solid, use the different fabrics to make the butterfly's wings and body and then sew them to the quilt. Matching butterflies can be made to use for wall hangings and pillows.
Wall colors can be decided upon by taking one or two shades from the fabrics. For a simple border idea, buy inexpensive butterfly-shape sponges from a craft store and dip them in various colors of paint that match the bedding. Stamp them up along the border of the walls. These can be easily painted over as the child grows and the decor in the room changes. Removable wall decals are also a popular and inexpensive option.
A wooden toy chest, a rocking chair stenciled with butterflies and flowers and a butterfly-shape rug will finish off the room nicely.

Ideas for Decorating a Bathroom with a Butterfly Theme
Create a Butterfly Theme Bathroom with a little creativity
 Do you love butterflies? How about decorating your bathroom with a butterfly theme? The bathroom is the ideal location to experiment with a decorating theme, and the options for decor and endless. Best of all, bathroom decor in a butterfly theme does not have to come from an expensive home decor store. Save money while decorating and consider the following unique ideas for decorating a bathroom with a butterfly theme. Using photos, felt, peel and stick decals, shells, craft paint, and a little creativity, you can have a bathroom with a beautiful butterfly theme, and without spending a small fortune on decorating accessories.
Decorate a Shower Curtain with Beautiful Butterflies
Pre-made shower curtains embellished with butterflies are not cheap. A matter of fact, shower curtains that match specific themes can be quite expensive. Buy a plain fabric shower curtain in a solid color of your choice, and purchase a variety of lightweight nylon butterflies and hand sew or use double sided tape to adhere to the curtain. Trace around the butterfly or draw them freehand. Arrange the various colors and designs, and top the finished butterflies with glass beaded details. They will look outstanding and far more unique than anything available in stores.
Peel and Stick Butterfly Decals
Decals are a great decorating option for those that want affordable decorating options. Purchase butterfly wall sticker decals, and place them sparingly around the corner of a bathroom door frame, on a corner of the mirror, or on tiles along the sink back splash. Less is more when decorating with any subject or theme, and a few peel and stick butterfly decals can add color while adding to the theme. To add a bit of variety, you can also use some ladybug wall stickers, or bee stickers and create an adorable garden themed bathroom. Quick and easy way to decorate any girls bathroom; simply peel and stick and the best part is they are removable so if you want to change them you can with ease.
