Description
These hanging Christmas tree decorations bring Ariel the mermaid and her friend Flounder the fish to the branches, each on its own ribbon tied in a bow. Ariel turns with her hands open and her long red hair sweeping behind her, in a purple shell top and a green scaled tail that fans into a pale green fin. Flounder is round and sunny yellow with blue stripes, a blue crest and blue fins, his big green eyes and wide smile full of character. Both are polystone resin with a matt finish, so the colours look soft rather than glossy, and each hangs from a small ring: Ariel on a red ribbon, Flounder on a pale blue one.
They belong on the Christmas tree, where the ribbons loop easily over a branch and let each figure turn gently. Side by side they make a bright underwater pair among the baubles and lights, or hung apart each adds its own spot of colour. The ribbons tie just as well around a wreath, a mantelpiece garland or a drawer handle, so they can brighten a living room, hallway or bedroom through December. They also make a happy Christmas gift, ready to hang the moment they are unwrapped.
Each figure is painted in matt colours with the detail raised in the surface, from the scales along Ariel's tail to the ridges of Flounder's crest and fins. Dust them with a soft dry cloth or wipe gently with a slightly damp one, and handle them with care, as resin can chip if dropped. When the tree comes down, wrap each in tissue paper so the ribbons stay neat for next Christmas. We like them tied at eye level on the front of the tree, where Ariel's red hair and Flounder's sunny yellow catch the eye across the room.

Frequently Asked
What are the Ariel and Flounder decorations made of?
Both figures are made from polystone resin with a matt finish, painted in red, green, purple, yellow and blue.
How do the decorations hang?
Each figure has a small ring at the top threaded with a ribbon tied in a bow, red for Ariel and pale blue for Flounder, ready to loop over a branch.
Do the decorations have a glossy finish?
No, the finish is matt, so the colours look soft and even and the figures do not shine under the tree lights.
Can I hang them somewhere other than the tree?
Yes, the ribbons loop easily around a wreath, a mantelpiece garland or a drawer handle, so they can brighten any room indoors over Christmas.
How should I look after resin decorations?
Dust them with a soft dry cloth or wipe gently with a slightly damp one, handle them carefully, and wrap them in tissue paper to store between Christmases.
Would Ariel and Flounder make a good Christmas gift?
Yes, they make a cheerful Christmas gift, with their ribbons already tied in bows so they can go straight onto the tree.
