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.

She’ll draw the winners at 9:00 a.m. her time, September 21.
