Little Crochet Butterflies


Little Crochet Butterflies


Butterflies are very symbolic for many people. 

They are symbols of life, endurance, change, and hope. 

In many cultures, people associate butterflies with souls. On the other hand, Christians consider butterflies as a symbol of resurrection.

With all that is going on in the world at the moment, what better time to fill the world with a kaleidoscope of little butterflies !

These sweet little butterflies are very quick and easy to make.

I have seen similar - but this is my version.
