Beautiful butterfly SVG files for papercutting, cutting machines, hand-cutting, vinyl crafts and other crafting...
Butterfly SVG file bundle (designs also available separately)All the butterfly SVG designs are hand-drawn and created by me from scratch - the lovely paper butterfly template files are layered so that you can use them as a single delicate layer or layer up for a multi-colour effect.
Files are available as SVG, EPS, DXF and PNG formats so are suitable for cutting machines such as Cricut, Silhouette, ScanNCut, Sure Cuts a Lot and more. You can also use the cut files with other design programmes and the PNG file allows you to papercut by hand or to print out the design.
The files are available for personal and small-business commercial use - in both cases for physical products only (no digital products or sharing). You can read the terms of use here...

Here are some more ideas to inspire you:
Butterfly tote bag craft idea - use iron-on (HTV) vinyl to get the designs onto fabricFor these two ideas, you would use iron-on vinyl (HTV) to get the design onto fabric. If you want a two-colour effect like this, you will need to layer up the vinyl - alternatively, you could just use the intricate top layer - or use several of the small silhouettes for another different look, maybe even in different colours.
Butterfly sweatshirt idea - use iron-on vinyl (HTV) to add the design to sweatshirts, T-shirts and other fabricsFor the doormat crafting idea, below, you would need to cut the design onto special stencil-vinyl and then use a paint to stencil in the design onto the doormat...
