This project could not be any easier and all you need is your Silhouette machine, colored cardstock and Smarties candy. I just love how it came out !!!
What You Need:
- Cardstock (any color you want)
- Smarties candy
- Xyron Mega Adhesive Runner (or hot glue)
- Design #2647 from Silhouette Store (this was actually one of the free designs in December 2014)
Directions:
- Purchase and upload the butterfly design into your software
- Size the butterfly so the center of the body is about 2 inches long
- Cut the design out of your card stock using your Silhouette machine
- Crease the top layer so that it will stick up from the bottom layer
- Using your Xyron Mega Adhesive Runner, attach the top layer to the bottom layer in the center
- Add more adhesive to the center of the top layer and lay on your roll of Smarties
**Note, before adding the Smarties, you could write a message on the back of the butterfly saying something like “Valentine, you make my heart flutter”
This is too fabulous! I just saw this today but will sooooo keep this in mind for the 1st day of Spring!
thank you !
I made these for my daughter’s 1st grade class as Valentine’s. Your instructions were great, and they turned out beautifully! I ended up using my Silhouette Sketch pens and put: Valentine, you make my heart flutter! on the backs of each one. Thanks so much for such a great idea! 🙂
