Butterflies are such a beautiful way to add a touch of whimsy to any craft project. I’ve recently have fallen in love with using iron-on vinyl on cardstock paper when I created my teach appreciation crayon boxes. In today’s tutorial, I will show you how to make paper butterflies that stand out from the crowd! You can create these in small or large sizes using the SVG cut files with your cutting machine. I love my Cricut Maker! Find out why here.
I have several butterfly SVG files in my shop or you can enjoy the free options below!
There are countless ways to use paper butterflies! Add them to a paper flower arrangement, decorate a wall, place them inside a shadow box, use them on cards and so much more! Last week I shared a floating teacup tutorial with paper flowers and these butterflies would be a gorgeous addition!
