    Made this for my daughter’s birthday . It was a big hit and delight. Plus my son in law almost bought a similar one on Amazon for 50 dollars. But Jennifer your design is much prettier and colorful than Amazon. Thank you for sharing and video tutorials to so many wonderful designs

    Good morning Jennifer. This is so cute! I thought I’d share something with your subscribers. If the don’t have a scoring tool, an alternative would be to get a tracing tool that is using for transferring patterns to fabric. It’s great to use for making a score line by taking a ruler and placing it just over the area to score a slide it across. You might want to put a piece of card board box underneath it be fore running it across.

    Okay... Got the boxes built... However... I was half asleep, and I don't have time to remake a while sheet, etc... Is it possible to slice a butterfly to print just that? I put the butterfly wings on backwards... On one butterfly 😢... There's no way to make this look like it was on purpose 😭 So I figured maybe I could print just a butterfly, and then glue that on the otherwise re black on top of the color... Is this makes any sense 🤪

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  2 роки тому

      Yes, you can print just the butterfly.

    This is so cute making one as I type. I used the SVG file with no score tool and I thought it would have fold cuts, but it didn’t. I’m sure it’s operator error. If anyone else had this problem, would be helpful to know if I missed a step.
