Sheer Butterfly Clip Decoration with Gold Glitter - Pink

This sheer butterfly clip decoration brings a soft flutter of pink and gold to the Christmas tree. Its upper wings are a pale, sheer pink, traced with fine lines of gold glitter that follow the veins of a real butterfly's wing. The lower wings are a deeper dusty pink with the same glittering outline. Clusters of faceted gold embellishments gather along the wing tips and edges, catching the light as the tree lights twinkle, and the slender body and two fine antennae are coated in gold glitter to match. It measures 17cm tall, 16.8cm across and just 2.5cm deep, so it sits close to a branch rather than hanging away from it.

A clip on the underside of the body means there is no hook or ribbon to fuss with. Open it, rest the butterfly on a branch and let it close, and it holds in place, perched as though it has just landed. That makes it easy to place exactly where a gap needs filling, angled across the front of the tree or tucked in among the needles near the top. The soft pink and gold suit a blush, rose gold or pastel Christmas scheme, and sit just as happily against a white or green tree. Away from the tree, it can clip onto a garland along the mantelpiece or a wreath on an inside door.

The back of the lower wings is a plain, soft pink, so the butterfly looks tidy from any angle on an open branch. Handle it gently by the body when you clip it on, and dust it lightly with a soft dry brush or cloth. Between Christmases, wrap it loosely in tissue and keep it in a box so the wings hold their shape. Clip it high on the branches as if in flight, or perch it on the bow of a wrapped present for a pretty finishing touch.
