Preventing FlutterFlyers from Unwinding in Small SpacesUpdated 9 months ago

🦋 How to Prevent Your FlutterFlyers from Unwinding in Small Spaces ✨ 

Issue:
Some customers have experienced their FlutterFlyers unwinding prematurely when placing them in small spaces, such as greeting cards or other tight enclosures.

Solution:
To keep your FlutterFlyer securely wound until the moment of surprise, follow these step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Properly Wind the Butterfly

  1. Hold the Butterfly:
    Start by holding the FlutterFlyer with one hand on the wings and the other on the body.

  2. Twist the Body:
    Twist the body of the butterfly in a clockwise direction (or as indicated on your FlutterFlyer) to wind it up. For best results, wind it up to 30-40 turns for a good, strong flight.

  3. Ensure Even Tension:
    Make sure the tension is even as you wind. This helps the wings to flutter smoothly when released.

Step 2: Holding the FlutterFlyer Tightly

  1. Press Between Flat Objects:
    After winding, immediately press the FlutterFlyer tightly between two flat surfaces. This could be a closed greeting card or the drop panels of a FlutterBox.

  2. Align the Wings:
    Make sure the wings are aligned flat and are not caught or folded, as this can cause premature unwinding.

  3. Secure the Card or Box:

    • For Greeting Cards: Hold the card tightly closed as you slide it into the envelope. Some customers use a small piece of tape to keep the card closed before placing it in the envelope, but this is optional.
    • For FlutterBoxes: Simply place the tightly wound FlutterFlyer into the designated slot and close the box securely.

Additional Notes:

This process may take a bit of practice, but once mastered, it becomes a simple and effective way to ensure your FlutterFlyers stay secure until the perfect moment of surprise.
