Beautiful Butterflies - Perfect Girls Room Decor
Pink. Floaty. Sparkly. Butterflies. There is absolutely NOTHING there that is not to love! "Meet Bugs-n-Blooms, a darling little e-boutique of whimsical flutterbys and girly-bugs. When I saw them in a gift shop years ago. I bought some lovely lavender and green ones on the spot, (a baby gift). Years later again for my neice's "Big Girl Room" (pink and black it was, so the ladybugs and dragonflies in varying sizes were just the ticket ). And just this week a few sparkly friends are on their way to bless a wee one just about to make her arrival in the world. If I could come up with a valid excuse, I'd buy some for myself, too. *sigh* Such is the life of a mom of boys!
Dragonflies, bumblebees, daisies, butterflies in an array of on-trend colors, glitter, fur and sequins (again, isn't everything in that sentence just delish?) there's a bug for every little bloom! Oh, and they have wings and tutus, too."
Oh to be five again! Above information provided courtesy of Adelle Gabrielson,

Decorating Ideas for Nylon Hanging Butterflies
 Butterflies signify peace and tranquility, leaving children and adults in awe of their beauty--why not use them to accessorize and brighten up a room or event? There are many ideas for decorating with nylon butterflies and there are tons of wonderful things you can do with them to add flair to your home or any place you want to have a peaceful setting.
Sprucing up your living space is possible without spending a lot of money. Adding one or two things can create a drastic change, particularly in a small space like the bathroom. A few nylon butterflies can transform your private space into a serene area to take a long bubble bath. Because they are bendable, nylon butterflies can be affixed to the wall, put on a shelf, or hung for a dramatic and calming affect.
How about using the crystal beaded butterflies for your dining area? Are you planning a dinner party? A table setting with soft pastel colors and mini butterflies for napkin holders changes your plain table into a fun place to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends. You can dangle a butterfly or two from a ceiling fan, chandelier, or even the ceiling to add an extra special touch to the room.
Are you searching for a great party theme? The handmade decorations with sequins and matching glitter will bring life to any baby shower, wedding shower, or even a birthday party. Decorating can be as simple or elaborate as you'd like. How about butterflies on the cake to match the hanging decorations?
When considering decorating with butterflies, don't leave out the little boys. No room with an outdoor theme would be complete without the beautiful little bendable creatures. With so many different colors to choose from, the room won't be too "girly" for your little man.
 With Mother's Day coming soon, why not fix breakfast for mom and add little butterflies to the breakfast tray? Your mom will feel extra special that you took the time to give her a little something that she will remember. It does not matter how young or how old you are, because the charm of butterflies is timeless. Who doesn't love the beauty and serenity of a butterfly in spring?
Nylon butterflies can be used for decorating throughout the home as well as parties, but they also make special gifts. For the mom-to-be this can be an addition or inspiration for a nursery idea. For grandma this can be a gift that she will never forget. No matter how you plan on using these sparkly little bugs, they will create a lasting impression without breaking your budget.

Easter Butterfly Decorations
Easter is coming! For the spring lover, there is no better time of year. It's time to celebrate the new growth and beauty of the season. The cold weather is breaking and before you know it, light jackets and short sleeves will make their entrance from the dark recesses of the closet. The delicate air and young blossoms call you outdoors. The feeling is unlike any other time of year.
Decorating for Easter is a yearly tradition and rite of spring. When that spring fever hits, I know the time has come to transform the inside to match the outside. I start by pulling out my favorite plants and placing them more prominently in the room. Spring isn't spring without flowers and butterflies, so they follow the path of the plants. The exquisite little nylon butterflies attached to craft wire and placed into the plants appear as though they have elegantly paused mid-flight to rest.
 I like to make new fresh flower bouquets and arrangements for the season and I add the smaller nylon butterflies among the blossoms. The smaller nylon butterflies give it a similar yet different feel, so that they tie into my theme but are not repetitive. For example, in one area I will use nylon butterflies gracefully adorned with sparking jewels or crystals to catch the sunlight. In another, I use the sequined type. On occasion, I'll hang beautiful daisies or ladybugs among the butterflies for a truly magical feel. Close to Easter, we add bunny decorations and eggs into the mix for an egg hunt.
During the Easter season, we celebrate love and beauty of the soul. Pulling Easter in through the though of life renewal carries special meaning for our family and we all look forward to the season. I was thrilled this year when my daughter asked me to help decorate the kids' game room, too. Her love of my butterfly collection, especially the nylon butterflies with the jewels and sequins, led me to know exactly what we would do for the kids' game room.
We added not only the nylon butterflies and springtime decorations but also cloud wall stickers and even some beautifully decorated alphabet letters in a springtime theme. The room now shines. We created an inspiring and exciting place to enjoy the wonder and newness of spring and get ready for the fun and renewal of Easter.

Ladybug Decorations: Not Just For Little Girls
 When you think about little boys playing outdoors on a spring day--picking up bugs and trying to catch butterflies -- it is a moment of precious childhood that you never forget. Consider bringing the outdoors in by decorating your son's room with bumblebees, butterflies, and ladybug decorations so your little one can let his imagination soar.
Mini ladybug decorations are adorable little creatures, covered in nylon with a wire frame, that are soft and bendable. You can put all the mini bugs on the wall or scatter them throughout the room. They can be put on a doorknob with a loop or dangled from the ceiling with a piece of fishing line. They can be mixed and matched with other little bugs to convert a little boy's room into an (indoor) outdoor wonderland.
Hanging ladybug room decorations are larger than the mini bugs, but they are also soft and bendable with hand-painted black dots and glitter on the wings for a special touch. Your little one will welcome the smiling ladybugs into his collection. Put them on the wall or hang them from the ceiling.
One great decorating idea is to create a 3D outdoor wall mural. Start with a bright blue sky background adding clouds, green grass, a bright smiling sun, and even a pond. You can add a huge 3D tree, and don't forget the little bugs that all boys love, as well as frogs, reptiles, and birds. How about including a picture of your little one sitting on a tree swing? This idea can be as exciting as you make it. Ask your little man to help with the painting. Adding his special touch will make it a fun time to spend together and he will be excited and proud of his accomplishment.
Another great addition is to add stuffed birds, frogs, and other soft and fuzzy animals. Stuffed animal shaped chairs make a cozy little area for your young man's personal space.
No room would be complete without coordinated bedding. Bright, cheerful colors with matching throw rugs and curtains can transform any room without much effort. Big fluffy comforters with matching curtains are a must to complete any boy's room. Ladybug curtain tiebacks add pizzazz to an already amazing room. This little accessory can even make a plain set of curtains fun and exciting.
Consider adding different animal wall stickers, hanging bugs, or bend the ladybugs so they can sit on a shelf or a nightstand. You can affix them to the headboard or sit them on the dresser. Let your imagination go to work as you create the perfect space for your special little boy.

Flutterby Butterfly Party
A butterfly birthday party is a perfect idea for a little girl. You can create a magical birthday party with a fun butterfly theme that she will never forget with these fun creative ideas. Get Ready to Flutter
Begin by stocking up on all the necessary birthday party supplies – plates, napkins, balloons – all with a butterfly theme. Check your local dollar store for these supplies at a fraction of the cost of other places. Then get your invitations ready. Cut out butterfly-shaped cards the size of a post card, and let your child decorate them with stickers. Tape the actual party invitation to the back on one side, and then mail it off.  Butterfly Decorations
Draw and cut out large butterflies from poster board. Color and decorate the butterflies and hang them from the ceiling. Make large flowers to tape to the walls. Decorate the tables and walls with pastel-colored crepe paper and balloons. For a table centerpiece, fill a large vase with colorful flowers, and add tiny butterflies to the flowers. Butterfly magnets make great place holders the kids can take home. Butterfly Party Activities
A fun activity for your butterfly birthday party would be to make coffee filter butterflies. You need a clothespin, coffee filters and markers. Have the kids color sections of the coffee filters. Spritz them with water, and the colors will run together. Let them dry, and then pinch the middle of the flat coffee filter and push it up into the clothespin so that two wings seem to puff out. Add wiggly eyes and chenille stem antennae. You could also cut out wings that are large enough for the party guests in advance. Use paper bags, and cut wings from the large sides of the bags. Tape them together, and punch holes near where the wings meet so you can tie the wings on the children. Then, the guests can paint designs on the wings, and you can attach the wings to the children’s backs so they can fly around. Butterfly Birthday Cake – It’s Easy to Do
Bake a round cake according to the directions on the cake mix box. Cut the cake in half. Turn the two halves around on the cookie sheet so that the round sides touch in the middle and the wider, flat edges are pointing out. You can leave it like this, or trim the rounded edges for a more triangular look. Ice the cake in pastel colors, pipe an icing body down the middle, add licorice antennae and you have a beautiful butterfly cake. Pastel-colored ice cream completes the party. Party Food
Everyday food becomes fun when you give it a new name and add a twist. Try serving these fun foods at your butterfly party. Butterfly Nector – Combine equal parts apricot nectar (in the juice aisle) and 7-Up. Float rainbow sherbet on top. Butterfly Jewel Sandwiches – Make jelly sandwiches in a variety of colors. Use flavors such as grape, strawberry and peach. Remove crusts and cut in half on the diagonal. Place sandwiches on a small plate with the wide side facing out like wings. Add a baby carrot in the middle for the wings, raisins for eyes and licorice for wings. “Glue” in place with small dabs of jelly or icing. Garden Goodies – Celery sticks, baby carrots, mini tomatoes and tiny radishes along with dip are the perfect accompaniment to this part. Goody Bags to Go
Send the kids home with goody bags decorated with butterflies. Include items in the bag such as butterfly-shaped toys, butterfly and flower stickers or a small book on butterflies. Wrap up your party by having your child send out butterfly-themed thank-you notes.

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. Children respond to this environment and will learn more freely, as well as remaining happy and enjoying their classroom atmosphere.

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.

Make this a celebration that guests will say was over much too soon. Invitations  Pass out or mail colorful invitations in the shape of butterflies with information on date, time and place of the party. Attach or include a magnetic butterfly to keep the invitation posted on the refrigerator as a reminder and let the birthday child decorate the envelopes with butterfly stamps. Party Decorations Cover the party table with butterfly-themed paper table cloths or a few yards of fabric printed with colorful butterflies. Table decorations include butterfly-shaped paper plates and butterfly-printed cups and napkins. Place cone-shaped butterfly printed hats and attach a butterfly-themed balloon at each chair at the table. Wall decorations can also include giant butterflies, butterfly streamers and nylon butterflies suspended from the ceiling. If the party is held at home, decorate the front door with a butterfly party door cover.

Refreshments

Serve finger foods such as "Caterpillars in a blanket" (hot dog halves wrapped in a biscuit) with dipping sauce like ketsup or mustard and "Butterfly Pizza" (pizza cut with butterfly cookie cutter). Activities Have a few craft projects ready for young guests to make. These include a Butterfly Life Cycle art kit with embellishments, painting ceramic butterfly pots, decorating giant butterflies with stickers, making butterfly magnets or coloring fuzzy butterfly pictures.
