Supplies Needed:

Butterfly cutouts - You can look for butterfly images in old books and paper ephemera and photocopy them, or alternatively, many etsy sellers offer digital collage sheets that you can print multiple copies of at home and cut out.
Tags or small cards - You can purchase ready made tags at craft stores, or if you'd like a more custom look you can make your own from your choice of cardstock and a tag-shaped paper punch (about $10-15 at craft stores). You can also opt for simple rectangles, cut easily with a paper cutter.
