Progress 1 of 2: Once Upon a Butterfly House (not Rolife)

When I was a little girl, I used to chase butterflies in our garden. This little butterfly house made me reminisce the good old days of just being nonchalant.

So far, I’m loving this build. Tabs fit well together. I didn’t sand anything other than the burrs.

I like the concept of having a butterfly, painting corner and a lab corner.

While I’m not a butterfly fan per se, this kit is definitely something that I can recommend as a few hours or relaxing weekend project.

Beautiful. I love seeing others build kits that I have in my stash. I thought this kit looked lovely and it seems I was right.

Love this! On another note…because I don’t want to search for your original post…May I ask what kind of clay you have used for your stone on the train booknooks and coffee cart? I want to try something that needs to be shaped (around the edges) but still a flat surface.

Always loving the different kids you post lately. This one is cute and beautiful to say the least! And it’s so nice and special when a kit connects with us or with some of our beautiful memories.

Thanks for sharing, looking forward for your updates.

I use this clay and another brand called Das. Any air dry clay will do really. @Nita_Davis

Thank you so much. I like building kits that really mean a lot to me. This particular build, although small and less ambitious, it’s still pretty and brings back memories. @TheToday

That’s such a great way of approaching this! That’s actually the main reason why I’ve chosen a really specific kit for my Leaderboard Prize. It’s coming soon, I think :stuck_out_tongue:

This actually surprised me. It’s not something that feels cheap. In fact, it’s a really well thought of kit.

It may be today? I don’t know. There’s a delivery coming, but I’m not sure if it’s the second part of the kits for my event in April, or the Leaderboard prize kit. We’ll see!

I’ve finished this one! My husband loves butterflies, so that’s what drew me to it. The butterfly pieces themselves have the most satisfying cardboard stock — so sturdy for how tiny they are. Small and mighty! Everything holds its shape beautifully and looks so cool once it’s together.
