Butterfly V2 cardboard silhouette for crafting, 5–50 cm

The invitations are sent and the tablecloth is laid. Now you just need a hanging butterfly, table decoration or craft piece for a spring party, wedding or children's birthday. A cardboard butterfly is made for exactly that. It's a clear silhouette that you can paint, decorate or simply hang up as it is. A plain cutout becomes your very own decoration.

What changes for you

• You design the butterfly exactly the way you like. The untreated bookbinding board can be painted, decorated and coated.
• Your decoration always fits the size of the occasion. You choose the width yourself, from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Crafting stays relaxed, even with children. The sturdy 1.2 mm solid board keeps its shape when you cut, glue and paint it.
• You get a clean result with no extra work. Every silhouette is precisely laser-cut, with a smooth surface and dark edges.
• You decorate with a clear conscience – the cardboard is made from 100% recycled material.

Why this cardboard butterfly makes a difference

Ready-made decorations often look like everyone else's. A blank, on the other hand, ends up showing your own touch: your colours, your patterns, your idea. Use it as a window picture, garland or table decoration. The butterfly brings a light feel to the room. And it quietly shows that someone prepared everything with love.

Material & finish

The silhouette is made from sturdy solid board in bookbinding quality. At 1.2 mm thick and 755 g/m², it is noticeably sturdier than ordinary craft card. The surface is smooth and untreated, so paint and glue adhere well. The laser cut gives a clean outline with dark edges that frame the motif. Every cutout is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the butterfly

The butterfly has always been a symbol of change and new beginnings – from caterpillar to butterfly. That's why it appears at so many special occasions: weddings, christenings, engagements or the start of a new chapter in life. As a decoration motif, it quietly tells this story too.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Store the cutouts dry and flat, and they will keep their shape for a long time. The board is untreated, so you should avoid moisture. It works well indoors. After the party, you can simply put it away and use it again.
