Make a cutwork butterfly

September 20, 2011 by Denise Felton

Abbyjane of While She Naps shows us how to create a felt cutwork butterfly using an Exacto knife. These are adorable as-is, and I can easily imagine embellishing them with lots of pretty stitching and beading. Pretty on a hair clip or, larger perhaps, to ornament your holiday tree. Abbyjane also is giving away two of the knives sent to her for review! (US addresses only.) Go to her blog post for the tute and the contest entry. And hurry. She’ll draw the winners at 9:00 a.m. her time, September 21.
