The basis of any interior is the decorated walls. They both serve as a neutral background, and the main source of mood, and therefore, this type of design should be treated particularly scrupulously and thoroughly. It is important that in this case, thoroughness is not synonymous with high cost, because decorating walls in the apartment can be done with your own hands.
Consider one of the most interesting and at the same time budget ideas for decorating walls in our master class for decorating butterflies . This method is good because it does not have strict rules:
- the arbitrary shape of the flock gives an opportunity to decorate any surface, whether it be an angle, a wall or a furniture horizontal;
- you can choose any size of the figure and the material of its execution;
- there are no restrictions in colors and textures.
So, let's begin! We will need:
- cardboard for the manufacture of stencils;
- color paper, self-adhesive film or bright magazine pages (depending on what kind of butterflies you want to get);
- English pins, adhesive tape or PVA glue (depending on the material of the butterflies and your desire);
- scissors;
- pen or felt-tip pen;
- some free time and a flight of fantasy.
We decorate the walls with our own hands
It should be noted that the process of decorating butterflies is extremely simple and consists of only a few stages:
- We select suitable templates for wall decor and cut them out of cardboard. You can use, like one stencil for a whole flock, and several different shapes. Below are three suitable options.
- Next on the created templates, we need to do butterflies proper. To do this, draw a stencil on the selected material. In our example - a self-adhesive film. We advise you to choose exactly on it, which will facilitate further fixing on the wall and will give more interesting visual perspective in terms of design. As for the quantity, it, like the size, is entirely at your discretion.
- If you followed our advice and made butterflies from the film, then you are almost there. It remains only to remove the paper layer from the figures in such a way that the glue becomes the "body", and the "wings" remain with the substrate. Glue on the wall in any order - and voila! Now in your room a flock of glossy fluttering butterflies has settled.

If you have chosen paper as a material, then you can fix the butterflies with the help of pins, glue or scotch tape. Please note that it is the pins that give the maximum reliability to the matt butterflies.
It should be noted that decoration with butterfly butterflies gives an effect similar to the effect from the decor of walls by mirrors: the reflection of light creates interesting overflows. At the same time matte paper butterflies make it possible to more accurately assess their shape, which means they assume a game with volume and size.
Thus, decorating with butterflies is very quick and easy. But most importantly - it's incredibly spectacular. At the same time, only you and your imagination create the appearance of this most spectacularity. As an added bonus, butterflies are a variant of temporary decor. Temporary not in the sense that it is short-lived, but in that it does not spoil the basic design of the walls. Of course, this is only true if you use not glue, but pins or self-adhesive film. With this option, you can move your butterflies, dilute them with "relatives" of other shades, change the shape of the stacks, use ready-made stencils for decorating walls with a painted pattern, etc.
Summing up, we advise you to try to settle in your house this eternal symbol of love, beauty and well-being - a voluminous decor of walls made of butterflies!
