It was the perfect thickness for this project:) I fell madly in love with this when I saw it at Desert Book.
I spray painted the edges dark brown.
Then I chose some scrapbook paper that looked almost identical to the one from Desert Book (I just happened to have some that looks a lot like that.)
I needed ribbon to match, but I didn't want to buy any. If you know me, I have WAY more ribbon than I need. So, I decided to just paint some white ribbon I had on hand.
I mixed up some paint to match the paper.
Using the end of a paint brush, I put green dots across the ribbon.
As you can see, I got better as I went along:)
Then I decided to go a completely different way:) I didn't even use the painted ribbon! Ha ha!
I just used some scrapbook paper I had and mod podged it onto the frame.
I found some little butterfly things at Sas Fabric that added a 3D element to the frame.
In case you are wondering, I am NOT putting a photo of my son in it. I just don't have any pics of my daughter that are horizontal.
Here it is in all it's wondrous glory. Do you like the brown butterfly where I put it below? I can't decide. Maybe take if off all together? What are your thoughts?

Such a cute project! And I like the butterflies just like they are!
Agreed, the butterflies are perfect right where they are. : )
I liked the fourth display, with the brown butterfly in the upper left corner. The other ones hide the brown ribbon. mom
