What is it about butterflies?
They just always make me feel happy. I think it might be their delicate beauty or the way they flutter around so freely. No matter what it is, I know you’re going to love this Free Butterfly SVG as much as I do!
On my bucket list is to one day visit that area in Mexico where all the monarch butterflies migrate to. It just looks like so much fun to watch them all congregate in one spot. Until then, I’ll just have to be content with making crafts with their beautiful images!

Cut transfer tape to size.
Using the weeding tool, remove all excess vinyl from the design.
Place transfer tape over design, and smooth with Cricut Spatula or thick card.
Disassemble the photo frame, removing the backing, glass, and any decorative image that came inside the frame.
Center the design onto the backside of your photo frame glass, and adhere using the Cricut Spatula, or thick card.

*One way to save a little money on vinyl crafts is to check with your local sign shops. They use vinyl and often have leftovers. They will usually sell you a box of their “scraps” for an incredible discount when compared to name-brand craft vinyl in the craft store. They have a small number of colors – like silver, red, navy, gold, yellow, and royal blue, but a lot of white.
