Part of The Butterfly House range: inspired by a fusion of the woodland, live butterfly houses and Japanese style.

This decoration was Inspired by a combination of the Butterfly House concept and the steady march towards winter of Dormouse Wood. It contrasts the carefully man-made and managed summer of the butterfly house, with nature’s tangled and untamed winter beauty.

The inner circle represents a butterfly house: warm, soft, rich and harmonious.

The outer circle symbolises a wild winter woodland: cool, austere, sparse and chaotic.

This three dimensional double wreath is designed to be hung from the celling or a bracket, so it can move gently with the room’s air currents.

The approximate maximum dimensions are: 57cm high by 60cm wide by 40cm deep. This does not include the hanging cord which you can adjust to suit your requirements. A brown, faux leather hanging cord is included with this wreath.

IMPORTANT: Hawthorn is a thorny shrub and care should be taken when handling this wreath. It should be kept out of reach of children and animals. Any remaining hawthorn berries must not be eaten. Hawthorn berries are edible but need appropriate processing before consumption. If you have any concerns about the berries falling they can easily be removed.

To learn more, watch the short video of the finished wreath, which you can find at the bottom of this listing. Or take a look at the step by step guide to see how I made this piece.

If you are inspired to create something similar, you will find everything used here, except the glue and the hanging cord, in the Dormouse Wood shop. I can even supply paper to make your own butterflies if you prefer not to purchase a full pack.

This is an indoor wreath and if treated with care should last indefinitely.

NOTE: The images are of the exact piece - what you see here is what you will receive.
