Shibori Butterfly Wings

$30.00

Description

These vibrant shibori-dyed butterfly wings (complete with pompon accents around the edges) are the perfect addition to dress-up time for children ages 3+. Shibori—a method of dyeing cloth with a pattern by stitching, binding, folding, twisting, or compressing—is a traditional art form in western Rajasthan, India. These wings were handmade in India under fair trade conditions.

Want to pair this with a book? Try The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle (1969).
