How to use the cardboard butterfly

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own butterfly – and at the end, a whole colourful flock flutters in the window.
• For money gifts: fold out a note and attach it to the butterfly. A plain envelope becomes a gift you'll enjoy handing over.
• For weddings or engagements: write on small butterflies and use them as place cards or tags. Your guests find their seats and take a keepsake home.
• In a café or shop: use large butterflies in the spring decorations on the counter and in the window. They're quick to hang up and give a consistent look. Next season they're just as quick to swap.
• Our tip: Use the sturdy card as a template for your own designs. Trace them onto paper, fabric or a wall. The laser-cut edges stay clean and smooth, so you can use the template many times.

Good to know about the butterfly

The butterfly has long stood for transformation and new beginnings – from caterpillar to butterfly. That's why the motif suits occasions when something new begins. Think weddings, births, christenings or simply the start of spring.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Store the butterfly in a dry place and keep it away from constant moisture. As untreated cardboard, it's best suited to indoor use. That way your decoration keeps its shape and colour for a long time.
