Butterfly hair clips

Today I took some hair clips in to Cheeky Monkeys, in the same range as the brooches, but for those mummy's who prefer a clip to a pin! (safety first!)

Christmas butterfly

I made this little butterfly to hang wherever you please. I used some felt and vintage silk and lace with old and new buttons and beads. When I was living in Brooklyn years ago, a textile designer friend of mine inherited a big bag full of vintage beads and sequins, they had belonged to a costume designer who no longer used them. She gave me a good few of them and I still use them to this day.
