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.
Jennifer, thank you for all you do for us and sharing your amazing creativity.. The joy on your face when the butterflies fly out is endearing and priceless. Will I be able to cut out the intricate pieces on my Cricut Joy?
Thank you. I just finished my box. Tried the flying butterflies. You make it look so easy . Need to get better wire and my rubberbands are to thick 😩. But just ordered the wire and bands, thank you.
I made this beautiful butterfly box. It is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I need some pointers on how to make the butterflies actually fly. they don't shoot out of my box and fly. They don't even unwind!! I'm sure I missed something, but could you please help a girl out?? THANK YOU!!!
Is the PDF file for the big box or the little box? I'd like to do this project, but don't have a cricket. I would also like to purchase the butterflies. Please let me know!
There are 2 different sizes and also with score or with score lines as well. The printable pdf file is only one size. jennifermaker.com/exploding-butterfly-box/
I love this!! You always have the best tutorials!! I hope to make this weekend. May I ask what are the final dimensions for the bigger box? I saw you put them for the regular size.
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 🤪
I cant find the download only the instruction page comes up and there is no search available to find download very frustrating library page cannot find the download cut file ugggg
It is #397. You can search the blog jennifermaker.com for the project and click on the link to the library in the materials list to find things more easily. jennifermaker.com/exploding-butterfly-box/
I can not seem to get any help on here facebook group so I proceeded to cut the first box however it did not score the score lines please help anyone????
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.
Just for anyone who want to know if you order the butterflies off Amazon and take the wings off and replace them with the ones from Jennifer here just cut two of the bottom pieces to the butterfly they fit the small box

@jennifermaker Will gift cards fit in the pockets of the smaller box? Or are the pockets too small for standard gift cards?
They should🥰
Thank you. I just finished my box. Tried the flying butterflies. You make it look so easy . Need to get better wire and my rubberbands are to thick 😩. But just ordered the wire and bands, thank you.
You can do it!💗

Butterflies!!!!!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I love butterflies!
@Ozella Hardy will be good at this!!
After the boxes are completed do you glue the bottoms to previous layer or is each Box left unattached?
You can glue them together or keep them as separate boxes. It is your choice.
Thank you. Was very easy to complete using your tutorial. Amazed with the results
This is awesome !
Thanks so much!
Really cute, love it,ty
Thank you! 😊
Wow amazing!
Aw! Thank you so much! 🌸
Ich mache das mit meiner klasse
Hi: can you make a hexagon explosive box, and a flower explosive box, please. Thanks
Those are some great suggestions! Thank you! 🌸
Thank you for this amazing pattern and tutorial. You are not only incredibly talented but also very generous!!
Thank you so much! I am glad you like it! 😃❤️
Which is preferable, no cut or tool for scoring?
No cut!
@@flrn64 Why?
It is a personal preference. It is faster to not have to use the scoring tool.
The wires part is confusing especially the second wire. How did you do that?
Here is the tutorial for details. jennifermaker.com/exploding-butterfly-box/
@@JenniferMaker Can you get away with using one pair of pliers for the project or do you also need the other two?
Love this!
Thank you! 💜

This looks like an adorable project! Can’t wait to try it! Many thanks..💕💕💕
You are so welcome!
Can u use A4 card for this
You can size it down to that or move them to more mats. jennifermaker.com/exploding-butterfly-box/
i like this video
I can not seem to get any help on here facebook group so I proceeded to cut the first box however it did not score the score lines please help anyone????
The red cut lines in the project need to be changed to Score lines and Attached to the layer below it. 😊🌻
Is there a dragonfly box like that
No sadly there isn't. Maybe you could design your own! 🌸
Not that I have made but that is a good idea! You could change it and make one! 😃
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.
Thank you! The files with no score lines should show dashes (cut lines) where the folds are.
Help folks! No matter what glue I use, the cardstock warps. What am I doing wrong?
You're likely using too much glue. You really only need a small amount. A high quality glue is important too. 😊🌻
thank you!
