Description
This hanging decoration strings 30 little cloth birds one above another on a cotton cord, with a small metal bell at the bottom. The birds are made from recycled patterned fabric in bright red, blue, green, orange, yellow and pink, picked out with tiny sequins and glass beads. From top to bell it measures about 114cm, so it hangs as a long, slim line of colour, and each bird is roughly 5cm from beak to tail. It weighs just 0.1KG, light enough for a single small hook.
Because it is long and narrow, it suits places where a wider piece would crowd the space: down the side of a door frame, beside a bookcase, on a hallway wall or in an alcove near a window. Hung from a hook on the back of a door, the bell gives a soft ring whenever the door moves. It brings a cheerful, folk feel to a living room, bedroom or reading corner, and sits happily alongside bright cushions, plants and painted furniture. Light and slim, it also makes an easy, colourful gift.
Each one is handmade in India, so the colours and patterns vary from string to string and no two are quite alike. The birds are fabric with sequin, metal and glass bead details, threaded between small glass beads on a cotton string, with the metal bell at the foot. It is a decorative piece for dry rooms indoors, and we suggest dusting it now and then with a soft dry cloth rather than washing it. Before hanging, allow about 114cm of clear drop so the bell can swing freely. As a present, it coils loosely into a gift box or folds into tissue paper without fuss.

Frequently Asked
How long is the bird hanging decoration?
It measures about 114cm from the top of the string to the bell, and each of the 30 birds is roughly 5cm long.
What is it made from?
The birds are made from recycled fabric with sequins, metal and glass bead details. The hanging string is cotton, the beads between the birds are glass and the bell is metal.
Will mine look exactly the same as every other one?
Each one is handmade in India, so the colours and patterns vary a little from string to string and no two are quite alike.
How do I hang it?
It hangs from the top of its cotton string, so a small hook or nail is enough because it weighs only 0.1KG. Leave room below for the bell to swing.
Can it hang outside or in a porch?
We would keep it in dry rooms indoors, because the fabric birds, cotton string and metal bell are best kept away from rain and damp.
How should I care for it?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth now and then. As a handmade fabric piece with beads and sequins, it is best not washed.
