Santa got run over by a snowball!! Santa is sticking out of this runaway snowball, hopefully he can make it out in time for Christms!! Or maybe he is just having a hoot! I sure had a hoot making him!

Have a light-hearted Christmas this year (and for all those to follow as this is an heirloom quality ornament). Santa and his snowball are suspended by a gold thread and secuured by a small crystal bead at the bottom of the ornament.

This ornament is approximately 2" wide by 4" long. It is made by needle-felting, a process whereby one stabs wool with a barbed needle thousands of times -- sounds like fun, no?! ;) I LOVE it!

A needle-felted ornament will last for generations with proper care. All you need to do is be gentle with it, but it is not breakable, so just pack it away in a little box or bag and it will be fine until the following Christmas. It comes with a little metal hanger-thingy :) for hanging on the tree. You could however hang it wherever you want! In your car from the rearview mirror, or from the mistletoe......

One thing I really love about this medium is that it is made from natural material.......wool. Gotta love it!

Please note: this listing is for one santa decoration only. :) thank you!

This Santa is about 6" tall. He's a bit skinny for Santa, but it's the off-season right now! He has a wire armature so he can be posed to stand or sit. Other than the wire he is made of 100% wool, that has been poked thousands of times with a barbed needle to sculpt it into a felt figure.

Although needle-felted figures are soft and safe for children to handle, they are for decoration only and won't stand up to rough play. They are not toys.

This 3-4" Christmas Ornament is brand new for 2011. He stands on his own but is strung for hanging as an ornament. The donkay and the Santa are all completely made by hand by a wrapping of wool process and the newer needle felting process.
