As Graceful As a Swan
As Graceful As a SwanFull of grace and beauty, swans are an age-old symbol of romance. These paper swans are the loveliest addition to any celebration of the heart. To make this metallic paper swan project, start by downloading the templates below. There is an SVG file to be used with a cutting machine or a PDF version you can cut by hand – both yield just as gorgeous of results. Visit Paper Papers website for the full photo tutorial to guide you through the assembly process. Your guests will be in awe of the simple elegance of these swans that took you no time at all to create!
For this project, we used Paper Papers metallic text weight paper. This paper is our very favorite – unique in its thinner composition than most cardstocks, it is ideal for projects like this one. It’s subtly iridescent quality gives an extra special feel.

Leave a Commentthank you so much
You’re so welcome 🙂
I think the graceful swan is alive.
Lovely, and thank you for the SVG.
You’re so welcome 🙂
These are so pretty! I’m glad you’re doing Cricut stuff, I feel like there hasn’t been as much as there used to be.
Thanks so much! Some members thought we were posting too many SVGs– we’re just trying to make sure there’s something for everyone! But we sure love our Cricuts 🙂
Oh my – these are so elegant 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Hi Lia–you had me at SWAN!! These would be cute for a 12 days of Christmas theme at the holidays. My Cricut will come in handy for this one!!!
Xoxo
