Butterfly Necklaces

My daughter Uma asked me to make her a butterfly necklace. I drew the butterfly in pencil, took a photo, and then the talented and kind staff of Make at Story Garden helped me laser-cut it.

Two laser-cut butterflies made of wood. The top butterfly is engraved, and the lower butterfly is pierced similar to sawing. The butterflies are attached to necklace chains for wearing.

I took home the laser-cut pieces, sanded them each 6 times, and assembled them into these necklaces.

Uma was excited that the lower one doubles as a bubble wand.
