Flannel Friday: Colorful Butterflies
These butterflies were so easy to make – our Ellison die-cut machine is a wonder with felt, making flannelboards a lot easier when I can find a template for the pieces I need. And I figured out that a little bit of puffy paint can make your flannelboards just a little more exciting, especially when it has some sparkles to it!

The first to come to the garden bed
is a lovely butterfly of brilliant RED
Then in comes another and that makes two
Fly right in, my friend of BLUE
This garden is fine, the best I’ve seen
says the butterfly of the softest GREEN
Our garden needs a sunny fellow
Fly in butterfly, with wings of YELLOW
Little friend of PURPLE, fly in too
the garden is waiting for a color like you
Hello ORANGE, we’ve waited so long
fly in, right where you belong
Butterflies, Butterflies, you’re such a sight
Flying together with such delight!

Great! I didn’t see it, but maybe I just missed it. At any rate, I’ll be sure to put you in.

What a cute rhyme and flannel set! I never thought of using the die-cut with my flannels… I will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing!

It has made creating flannel sets so much easier and I like said in the post, a little puffy paint spices them up!
