Description
This feather butterfly garland strings nine large butterflies along a 1.6 metre length, ready to hang down a wall, beside a window or from a shelf. Each butterfly measures about 11.5cm across and 7cm deep, with soft feather wings in either pale blush pink or deep rose red, the two shades alternating along the strand. The rose red wings carry bright yellow spots, the pink wings white spots and fine veining, and every wing is edged with a sparkle of glitter that catches the light as the garland turns. A small clear bead finishes the bottom end.
Hung from its tied loop, the garland falls as a column of colour down a bare wall, the side of a bookcase or the edge of a dressing table mirror. The included sprung metal clip, 3cm long, lets you fix it to a curtain pole, a shelf lip, a picture frame or a hook without tying anything. It weighs just 11g, so a single small hook or pin holds it easily, and it goes up and comes down again in moments. We like it in a bedroom, a hallway or a living room that needs a little brightness, and it works just as well draped loosely across a mantelpiece as hanging straight.
The garland is made from feather, metal, plastic and polystyrene, with the feather wings set on slim bodies along a fine line. Each butterfly is made by hand, so its size and look can vary a little from one to the next, which gives the strand a natural, unfussy charm. Feathers are delicate, so keep the garland indoors and dry, and lift off any dust with a soft dry brush rather than a cloth. For a light, airy display, hang it beside a window where the glitter can catch the daylight, or loop it around a mirror frame for a soft border of colour.
