Why This Product
Picture the moment a birthday card pops open and a butterfly spirals up into the air — that gasp of surprise never gets old. These wind-up flying butterflies turn ordinary greetings into unforgettable moments, and with 12 in every set, you're stocked for an entire season of celebrations.
For wedding planners and event hosts, tuck one into each place setting or favour bag and let guests discover the magic at their own pace. The rubber band mechanism is simple enough for anyone to operate — just wind, hold, and release. No batteries, no charging, no fuss. And because they double as bookmarks, they're a gift that keeps giving long after the party ends.

For themed events, choose a single-style set to match your colour palette. Either way, you're getting 12 moments of pure delight for less than the cost of a single floral centrepiece.
Care & Maintenance
- Winding: Twist the propeller 20–30 turns for optimal flight; avoid over-winding to prevent rubber band wear
- Storage: Store flat in a dry location; avoid bending or creasing the wings
- Wing Care: Handle wings gently to maintain shape; smooth out minor creases with light finger pressure
- Rubber Band: Replace if elasticity diminishes after extended use; standard small rubber bands work as replacements
- Cleaning: Wipe gently with a dry cloth; avoid water and solvents
- Reuse: Butterflies are reusable — wind and release as many times as you like
FAQ
How do the butterflies fly?
Each butterfly has a rubber band mechanism. Wind the propeller by twisting it 20–30 times, hold the butterfly, then release. The stored energy in the rubber band spins the propeller and launches the butterfly into the air.
Do they need batteries?
No — the butterflies are entirely mechanical. No batteries or charging required.
How high do they fly?
Flight height depends on winding and release angle, but they typically soar 1–3 metres when fully wound.
Can they be reused?
Yes, the butterflies are reusable. Simply rewind the rubber band and release again. Replace the rubber band if it loses elasticity over time.
What's the difference between the variants?
All variants contain 12 butterflies with the same wingspan. The difference is in wing pattern and colour selection. The MIX variant includes a random assortment of all available styles.
Are they suitable for children?
Yes, with adult supervision recommended for younger children during winding. The butterflies are lightweight and safe for indoor and outdoor use.
Can I put them inside a greeting card?
Absolutely — the bookmark-style body is designed to fit inside standard greeting cards, books, and envelopes. When the card is opened, the butterfly launches for a magical surprise.
