Due to the success of my dolly-peg Christmas decorations over the last couple of years I've once again made some Santas, just perfect for the Christmas tree this season.
This year's doll has been hand painted in red with smart black boots, fluffy white beard and red fleece pointed hat. Each Father Christmas carries a small hessian sack with labels that read "Christmas Wishes". The sack is ideal to pop a small wrapped chocolate inside or tiny gift, and wonderful for the household to place their written wishes inside ready for Father Christmas to receive and (hopefully) fulfill on Christmas morning.
There's six Santas available at Ellie's Treasures. Three have their legs split to make them perfect to slot onto the branches of the Christmas tree, and three have their legs split in order to sit on the tree or use as a peg for cards, on tinsel or bunting.
Also available this year are a couple of hand sewn hanging decorations. Cut from felt and Christmas fabric they each have a tibetan silver charm as their centrepiece. The first has the most detailed stag/reindeer charm, standing in the snow beside the trees. The little clear seed beads falling above his head look like snow flakes.
The second is a Christmas tree with a delicate fairy at the top. The tree has tiny seed beads in a variety of colours, strung together with fusia cotton to resemble a string of fairy lights.
My final hanging decoration is a pretty hanging heart. Cut from neutral cotton with a central red and white check rectangle and spotty ribbon trim, it simply says "Christmas". Very shabby chic and homely, it's filled with a generous amount of crushed cloves and wadding to give the room a gentle, seasonal perfume.
