This butterfly tree was fun, easy and inexpensive!
This project is so simple and rewarding. You’re going to be able to create it super fast!
Dollar Store, it’s me again!
I started with this naked tree from the Dollar Store. YAY only one dollar!
KNK Zing + Lori’s cut designs = Happy Crafter
I used Lori Whitlock’s Butterflies cut file along with my KNK Zing to make ton o’ butterflies. You can use Lori’s files with other die cut machines as well, so don’t hesitate to try her file! Check to see if your die cut machine can use .svg’s and other types of cut files. Trouble importing files into the Silhouette software? Check this post for help.
Did you know there are several collective nouns to describe a grouping of butterflies? Yep. You can call them a rabble, swarm or a kaleidoscope of butterflies. I’m still trying to determine which one is the “rightest”. If I find one I like even better than those three it will be the rightest”est”. 😉
Not a lot, just a Dot.
After I cut out my kaleidoscope of butterflies (… decided kaleidoscope was the “rightest” collective noun for butterflies, in my opinion…) I added a tiny Glue Dot® to the middle of each butterfly and stuck them to a branch of the tree.
Real or not, that butterfly is pretty!
I varied the direction I turned the butterflies. Lori’s butterfly file comes with 3 different butterfly shapes, all of them pretty. 😉
I love this sweet tree.
It always amazes me when something so simple and inexpensive can be dressed up a little bit and become lovely.
Kudos to Lori for this excellent butterfly design.

How wonderful! It is almost magic that such a cute tree is born! Just some white wrapped wire and cut outs of butterflies!
