I have made many paper flowers but never a butterfly. I pick flowers but I will be checking out the butterflies!

That's a tough one because I enjoy all forms of nature. I'm voting for the butterflies, but only by a hair.

Paper butterflies are beautiful paper to get the full color of them.

Paper Butterflies would be my choice. Butterflies remind me of a beautiful lady that passed away at 39 years of age and left behind a precious 4 year old daughter. Life is beautiful and is also so fragile, just like a Butterfly!

Maybe this is weird, but it seems to me that flowers are more "neutral" while butterflies are more of a "thing". I guess, a blossom or bouquet can blend into decor, but a butterfly or swarm of butterflies will be attention-grabbing. For that reason alone, I choose flowers. That said, I like to put 1 or 2 small butterflies in my bouquets, whether silk, paper or actual flowers! For actual flowers, it's an extra gift that will last long after the bouquet is compost.

I think I will choose the flowers because I love flowers in the house and summer is over and no more flowers. These are gorgeous and could pass for real so my house can be full of flowers all year long.

I am not very fond of butterflies, I think they are bugs with good wardrobe budgets (lol) but I love making paper flowers. So there's your answer.

I am partial to paper flowers, but my preschooler likes the butterflies. So one vote for each.

I am not very crafty but am willing to learn to make those beautiful spring flowers. I would have them all over my home in bunches.

While they are both beautiful, I have only seen dies for making paper butterflies, while there are many ways to make all sorts of paper flowers. So, my vote would be flowers!

I find that I really enjoy the challenge of crafting 3D flowers. Flowers offer a great variety, and can suit many moods and occasions.

They are both beautiful. I don't see paper butterflies as often as flowers, so I will go with butterflies.

Both flowers and butterflies are beautiful. However, flowers are becoming more and more like real flowers, even adding aroma to them, so much that I would vote for flowers.

each is wonderful in their own right, but the flowers are so realistic and enchanting I guess my vote is flowers for now.

I am obsessed with paper flowers. Butterflies can be pretty, but the flowers are the best.

I love paper butterflies, but paper flowers are by far the best. The possibilities are endless because I believe flowers out number butterflies.

Paper butterflies are very pretty but paper flowers are easier to make and adapt to every season
dkisamore 6587996
Sep 26, 2016
Ha. This is a trick question because my paper wreathes have both flowers and butterflies on them. I guess paper flowers win out if a choice needs to be made. This is simply because some flowers can be chosen for each season of the year but butterflies definitely aren't a winter "thing."

It seems like flowers are winning right now, and I always root for the underdog, so I'm going to say butterflies are better! )

I'm torn, because both paper flowers and butterflies are so pretty, but I think paper flowers are my all-time favorite.
