I've revived an old craft of my great aunt, who made peanut people out of peanuts, to decorate her Christmas tree. I've made many peanut people, as well as butterflies, as it made me happy to make something cheerful and nostalgic out of simple craft materials, as I did in my childhood.
This butterfly is made of peanut shell (nuts have been removed), pipe cleaners, lace & sequins. She wears fancy felt mitts & boots and a red rose hat. 
Paloma is ready to fly to her new home and make you smile.
