Why is it useful to attach a dangle to a Chimney Sheep®?
Although each of our Chimney Sheep® comes with a safety tag attached to the handle, our Fairtrade metal floral heart dangle will add an extra bit of ‘wow’ to your fireplace. It is also a great decoration for your home and can be used as a quirky Christmas tree decoration.
More importantly, this metal floral heart decoration acts as an extra reminder that there is a draught excluder in your chimney. This is really important because although Chimney Sheep® are fire retardant (and will give off a rather pungent scent to alert you if it is accidentally lit) if you wish to light your fire, you must ALWAYS remove your Chimney Sheep®. The person who lights the fire, will not necessarily be the same person that inserted the Chimney Sheep® draught excluder, so a visible dangle acts as a great reminder that there is a Chimney Sheep® and will eliminate any risk of your sheep getting a little hot and bothered!
How do I attach this floral metal heart dangle to my Chimney Sheep®?
To add it to your Chimney Sheep®, undo the chain on the safety dangle that says ‘don’t ewe forget about me’ (all our Chimney Sheep® come with these), thread it through the small hanging loop at the back of the dangle and re-fix it onto the Chimney Sheep® handle. Alternatively, un-knot the organic jute string and tie this around the handle.
