Spun Cotton Doll Ornament, Elfriede

Handcrafted with wonder and warm wishes from spun cotton. Spun cotton has its roots in 19th century Germany, where cotton ornaments were handmade at home to decorate the tree and to share with friends and neighbors.

Crafted for display as either a doll or an ornament, entirely handmade and one of a kind: This is Elfriede. Elfriede will come to you dated and nestled snugly in a lovely protective box. Doll ornaments are generally just over five inches tall. They are all able to stand and do not require hanging, though some may require minor support when standing.

Every doll ornament comes strung on a cord which is suitable for hanging. Custom made oxidized copper ornament hangers may be purchased separately here.

Each doll ornament is made simply from fluffy cotton batting wrapped around a wire armature and sealed with a paste made of starch and water. They have hand painted clay faces and are embellished traditionally, with German glass glitter and mica.

Elfriede is wearing a green and pink elf costume. She has a skirt and coat with pink trim, green elf shoes, and a green elf hat with a pink bow. She's wearing pink and red striped tights, and her mittens and scarf are red. She has blue eyes and light brown hair, and she's holding two Christmas bells.
