Be Yourself Floral Butterfly Standing Wooden Plaque - White

This butterfly plaque is made from wood in a soft white, with watercolour flowers in pastel pink, blue and green gathered across its wings and a bouquet rising from one upper corner. Across the centre, gold lettering reads "You don’t have to be Anything else other than Yourself", with Anything and Yourself picked out in flowing script. It stands 12cm tall, 15cm wide and 3cm deep, so it is a small piece that sits comfortably on a shelf without crowding it, and the floral edge gives the butterfly a pretty, uneven outline rather than a plain cut shape.

At 3cm deep, the plaque stands upright on its own, so it needs no wall, no hook and no stand. We like it on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a bedside table or a desk, anywhere the words will be read every day. The pastel palette sits happily alongside cream, blush and soft green rooms, and the white wood keeps it looking fresh against a painted backdrop. As a gift it says something kind without needing a card to explain it, which makes it an easy choice when you want to remind someone how much they are valued just as they are.

The front carries the printed floral design and gold lettering, while the back is left plain, so it looks tidy from any angle on an open shelf. Being wood, it is best kept somewhere dry and away from direct heat. To care for it, dust gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid soaking the surface or using cleaning sprays on the print. For a gentle display, pair it with a small vase of fresh flowers or a stack of favourite books, and let the butterfly be the quiet note of encouragement on the shelf.

How big is the butterfly plaque?

It stands 12cm tall, 15cm wide and 3cm deep. That compact size suits a shelf, mantelpiece, desk or bedside table without taking over the space.

Does the plaque need to hang on a wall?

No. At 3cm deep it stands upright on its own on any flat surface, so there is no hook, nail or separate stand to deal with.

What words are on the plaque?

Gold lettering reads "You don’t have to be Anything else other than Yourself". The words Anything and Yourself are written in a flowing script across the white wood.

What is the plaque made of and what colour is it?

It is a white wooden plaque. The front is printed with pastel pink, blue and green watercolour flowers and finished with gold lettering.

How should I clean the plaque?

Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth now and then. Keep it away from water and direct heat, as is good practice for any printed wooden piece.

Would the plaque make a good gift?

Yes. Its kind words and soft floral design make it a thoughtful gift for anyone who could do with a gentle reminder to be themselves.
