Before you cut

The patterned wings contain many enclosed white regions. Add bridges or simplify the panels before cutting a reusable sheet. Inspect the antennae and long lower wing tips separately.

Pixel check: 40 possible enclosed white regions at the default settings. Sampled estimate, not a cutting guarantee. AI-assisted artwork; no physical cut test has been performed.

Project ideas

Trace a butterfly for a nature journal.
Paint a broad wing silhouette on a tote.
Create a focal motif for a handmade card.

Print & cut notes

Use 15 cm or larger for the detailed version. A small stencil should omit the inner wing marks and delicate antennae.

Black shapes mark the cut-out areas; white is the sheet that remains. Print at actual size, measure the 5 cm calibration line, and make a test cut before painting.
