Handmade Santa Claus Christmas Ornament, Custom Skin Tone, Made to Order

These custom made Santa Claus ornaments are crafted entirely out of wool and silk. They have sweet faces with rosy cheeks and fluffy white beards.

These are the same as my original Santa Claus ornaments; however, I have sourced a new variety of wool in order to be able to offer additional skin tones. This wool is much more expensive, which is why these ornaments are more expensive than my original Santa. The skin tone "fair" in this listing is very similar to the skin tone of my less expensive original Santas.

Every Santa ornament is carefully handcrafted. I start each one by shaping a ball to serve as the bulk of the head and then adding a chin and forehead to create a blank face. From there, I sculpt Santa's features: eyes first, then nose, cheeks, mouth, and eyelids. Then, each Santa gets bushy eyebrows and a wonderful white beard and hair. The hat and trim are added last, along with gold thread for hanging.

Aside from his glass eyes, every part of this Santa is needle felted, which means he takes hours to create. This is why I require two weeks of processing time for every order.

Santa Claus ornaments are made from multiple varieties of wool and silk. They have glass eyes, white wool beards, and natural silk accents. They are about three inches tall and hang from a gold thread.

These Santa Claus ornaments are MADE TO ORDER, which means they will not ship until up to two weeks after you check out! After you order, Etsy will calculate the processing period, which does not include weekends or holidays. I always try my best to make every Santa worth the wait!

Santa Claus 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 Claus 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.
