Description
These feather butterfly clip-on decorations come as a set of four small butterflies, ready to bring a flutter of colour to anything they can grip. Two are soft pink with white spots and two are rose red with yellow spots. Every one has feathery wings veined and edged in glitter, a slim body down the middle and two fine antennae. Each butterfly is about 8.5cm across the wings and 5cm long, and stands 3.2cm high with its clip. We like this neat size because it sits happily on a ribbon or a card without crowding it.
Underneath each butterfly sits a small metal clip, about 3cm long and 0.6cm wide, so there is no glue, pin or thread to fuss with. Clip one to the ribbon on a wrapped present and we think plain paper suddenly looks considered. You could also add a pair to a bunch of flowers, the corner of a greetings card, the rim of a plant pot or a curtain tieback for a gentle touch of the garden indoors. Because they grip rather than stick, you can move them from place to place as often as you like and use them again and again. That makes a set of four go a long way for anyone who loves wrapping presents or dressing a room.
Each butterfly is handmade from feather, metal, plastic and polystyrene, so sizes and appearance may vary a little from one to the next, which is part of their charm. Feather wings are delicate, so handle them gently, keep them dry, and lift any dust with a soft dry brush. Between uses, store them in a box so the wings and antennae keep their shape. For a small present, tie a ribbon round a gift and clip the whole set along it, pink and red in turn.
