For a sweet personalized favor at a butterfly birthday party or baby shower, you can't beat the cost savings of cutting your own butterfly favor boxes!

If you don't have a Cricut yet, I highly recommend getting one! She has a Cricut Maker {on my wish list} but I'm still rocking my Cricut Explore Air just fine!
