Monarch Butterfly String

By A Mystery Man Writer

Last updated 06 Jul 2024

Size is approx. 4 in wide. Garland extends 80” long on clear fishing line string. 9 butterflies.

In Michoacan, Mexico, Day of the Dead is extra special because of the annual migration of the monarch butterflies. A true mystery of nature, these beautiful, big orange butterflies return to the villages & countryside during the week of Day of the Dead. Now, legend says that they are the spirits of returning loved ones.

When I found these hand-painted monarch garlands, I ignored my “anti-China” purchasing prejudice and had to get these. They are painted on a kind of silk flower material that looks like real butterfly wings. They will be great for our ofrendas makers who might even want to restring them horizontally, as they only come in vertical strings. They are very good quality and come in a nice box.
