Sandy Hook Elementary – Newtown, CT – Mini Butterfly Collector’s Edition 1

$250.00

The Newtown, CT shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, when a gunman took the lives of his mother and 26 individuals, including 20 young children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It remains the deadliest mass shooting in Connecticut history and the deadliest at an elementary school in U.S. history.

This handcrafted miniature honors the Sandy Hook community with the same care and symbolism as its larger counterpart. The design reflects the innocence and vibrancy of the lives lost through its playful details. Colorful fingerprints line the wings, symbolizing each child’s unique identity and standing as a direct rebuttal to the conspiracy theories that denied their very existence. Magnetic letters, paper clips, star stickers, and teddy bears evoke the classroom and the creative spirit of young minds. The teddy bears also recall the thousands sent to Newtown as a powerful symbol of collective grief and compassion. Each piece serves as a quiet tribute to lives lost and a reminder of what we continue to hope for.

This is Collector’s Edition 1 in a series of limited miniatures created by the Butterfly Art Collective. Within this edition are 12 individually crafted pieces, each one-of-a-kind in shape and detail. While united by a common design inspiration, no two are exactly alike—ensuring that every collector receives a singular work from this debut release. Each piece includes a numbered and stamped certificate of authenticity from the Butterfly Art Collective.

100% of proceeds support our nonprofit partners driving healing and systemic change.

Please allow 2 to 3 business days for order processing.

  • Each mini butterfly in this batch is one of six unique silhouettes, with slight variations.

  • Each butterfly shape varies slightly in size, ranging approximately from 4"–5.5" in width and 2.6"–3.3" in height, depending on the silhouette.

  • Each butterfly includes an embedded magnet and comes with a metal pin for versatile display. Simply place the butterfly on any magnetic surface, or insert the pin into a wall to create a seamless floating effect. Designed for easy, damage-free installation.

  • To preserve clarity and color, display indoors in a cool, dry environment and out of direct sunlight. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use warm water with mild dish soap and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged moisture exposure.

  • 100% of proceeds support Sandy Hook Promise and Giffords, two leading nonprofit organizations dedicated to ending gun violence through education, advocacy, and policy reform. Your purchase directly contributes to their lifesaving work.
