The flower measures 4" x 4" and comes packaged on a retail card with a clip that is not attached to the flower. Sample B has the same textile fabric composition as sample A and is decorated in a similar manner with smaller beading. The flower measures 2 x 2 and comes packaged 4 flowers on a retail card, with no clips.
Sample C is a decorative item made up using a jute cordage that has been twisted into shape to form flower petals and is finished with wooden buttons sewn into the center. The two flowers each measure 2" x 3" each and includes no metal clips. You state the flowers are purely decorative, acting as an embellishment to decorate jars and bottles.
