Father Christmas is made from a technique called needle felting, which involves poking and prodding different colours of wool with a extremely sharp barbed needle until you reach the perfect shape. It literally takes thousands of pokes to reach just the right sculpture. This is a one-of-a-kind soft sculpture and is made without a pattern.

When Father Christmas wants to feel like one of the elves this is the outfit he puts on! He tells me that sometimes he just get tired of wearing that big bright red suit and wants to wear something that blends in more with the red and green outfits that the elves wear. I don't have the heart to tell him that his cloak is way nicer than the elves! It just doesn't matter what he wears, he will always be the top dog.

MEASUREMENTS: Even though Father Christmas hardly weighs a thing he is approx. 27 cm (10.5 inches) tall. He is completely free standing and his staff is firmly needle felted to his hand. He is cute to look at, and he comes from a smoke free home, but he is not a children's toy!

Father Christmas is dressed in a olive green hat and cloak, trimmed with bright white. His beard and hair is a soft creamy white colour and his boots and staff are dark brown and his mittens are red. The details on his cloak is done in an evergreen colour with red berries and took a really long time to do! Remember different monitors may show colours slightly different then they actually are, but trust me, I've worked very hard in picking out just the right colours to bring these sculptures to life!

Listing is for the felted Father Christmas only. Other display items are not included.
