What little girl wouldn’t want a butterfly themed nursery or room or  that will inspire her to wonder about these magnificent creatures?  Creating a butterfly themed bedroom can be costly, depending on what you decide to use.  However, there are many ways to create your own butterfly garden bedroom on a budget  with just a few simple tricks.

A great place to start would be hanging nylon butterfly decorations.  These butterfly decorations have become very popular thanks to places like Pottery Barn.  However, you don’t have to spend a lot to have that catalog look.  These nylon butterflies can be hung from the ceiling or placed directly on walls.  They come in different styles, shapes, sizes and color.  The possibilities are endless with a fews simple house hold items and a hot glue gun.

Butterfly Lamp Shades:  Instead of spending $25 on a butterfly lampshade, you can take smaller 3" nylon butterfly decorations and hot glue them to a plain lampshade.  Three butterflies for $6, plain white lampshade for $4 give a grand total of $10.

Butterfly Curtains:  Butterfly sheers are all the rave these days, but sell for an average of  $50 a panel.   Get a plain sheer for $7 a panel and decorate them with 2" mini nylon butterflies at 85 cents each.  This can easily be done with a needle and thread.  Depending on how big your curtain is, your cost is about $14.42.

Butterfly Curtain Holdbacks:  Now that you have your beautiful (but much less expensive) curtains, you may want something to hold your curtains back.  Holdbacks can cost around $35 for a set of 2.  Why spend so much when you can have something even more beautiful at a fraction of the cost?  Buy some organza ribbon for $4 a roll.  Take about two feet of ribbon and glue a 5" nylon butterfly at $4.95 to the center and tie them around your curtains to pull them back.  Your cost?  $13.95 per pair plus extra organza with which to decorate.

Other ideas are to use butterflies as accents on picture frames, growth charts, and mirrors.  Two to three inch butterflies are perfect for these.  The possibilities are endless.
Once you have hung all your butterflies, why not create a full butterfly garden with flowers, dragonflies, bumblebees and ladybugs?
Let your imagination take over and inspire your child to wonder!
