Kids Crafts With Cricut

A Quick & Easy Kids Craft With Cricut

Supplies:

One sheet black construction paper
Clear Contact Paper (I used the Dollar Tree Brand)
Tissue Paper
Free Butterfly SVG (These have wider heads and a hole to run string through, but you can find dozens more free butterfly svgs here.)

Upload the svg, Ungroup, then change the color of the solid butterflies so that cricut knows to send them to a separate mat.

Top Butterfly Size: 5.8 x 3.9

Bottom Butterfly Size: 4.5 x 3.9

Cut:

1 of each butterfly from the black paper
2 of each of the solid butterflies from the contact paper

Assemble:

Apply one solid butterfly to the black cut out.
Tear tissue paper into pieces, apply randomly. Don't worry if it overlaps. If too much hangs over the edge, you can trim it later.
Once the tissue paper is all applied, place the second piece of contact paper over the tissue paper.
Add a string through the hole to hang.

OPTION 2 -

You can also skip cutting out the contact paper. Just apply the black cut out to a square piece of contact paper, add the tissue, place another piece of contact paper over top, then you could trim around it with scissors. This may be the easier route for younger children.

OPTION 3 -

You could also cut the solid butterflies (meant to be cut from contact paper here) out on white cardstock, let the children color the white butterfly, then glue the black over the top.

COMMERCIAL USE

Commercial use svgs can be used on projects you plan to sell. You may not sell the svg, but you can use the svg on an item and sell that item.

I hear from a lot of people who have purchased a machine, but months later still not have taken it out of the box, because it's too intimidating.

The machine comes with a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase. If you wait 6 months to start using it, you will already be 6 months into your warranty. Get it out now, make sure it works, and USE it, while the company is still obligated to fix any problems it may have. :-)
