Handmade Santa Claus Christmas Ornament, Celestial Santa Moon Ornament, Made to Order
This sweet, sleepy Santa moon rests against a gently swirling backdrop of night sky and stars. He is just under three inches tall and hangs from a red silk ribbon.
Every Santa moon ornament is carefully handcrafted. I start each one by shaping a circular disc and covering it in a swirling galactic backdrop filled with stars. From there, I sculpt Santa on top: hat first, then sleepy face and wonderful white beard. The silk ribbon for hanging is added last.
Every part of this ornament is needle felted, which means it takes time to create. This is why I require a few days of processing time for every order.
Santa moon ornaments are made from multiple varieties of wool and silk. They have a red silk ribbon, white wool beards, and natural silk accents. They are about three inches tall.
These Santa Claus ornaments are MADE TO ORDER, which means they will not ship until a few days after you check out! This processing period does not include weekends or holidays. I always try my best to make every ornament worth the wait!
Santa moon ornaments are needle felted. Needle felting is the process of using a barbed needle to join fibers together. When the fibers are stabbed with the needle, the barbs cause the fibers to entwine. Artists vary the depth, direction, and pressure of the stabbing in order to transform loose fiber into sculptures. This often takes many, many hours.
Santa moon ornaments are not a toy for small children. As the beloved symbol of the magic of Christmas, Santa is very, very busy this time of year does his best work away from tiny hands and paws.
