    I was inspired by really wanting a chandelier at my bridal shower and the pottery barn butterfly chandelier. With about ten dollars and probably four nights here and there of stringing the crystals and cutting out cardstock butterflies, here's what I got. It will be hung in the center ceiling of that tent my mother got for my bridal shower. The shower's theme is british garden tea party. So think of outdoors high tea at the ritz :)

    Still considering putting some light pink and white roses in the top wreath portion to glam it up some more.

    did you just use a regular template for the butterflies, like found one on the internet and printed it out and cut it out on the cardstock?

    I actually bought an exacto knife and used those little wooden butterflies from Michael's (we are using them for another project) and used the actual wood piece to cut out the butterflies about four at a time.

    I know it's been two years since you posted this, but I love these and might just steal the idea for my home.
