COOL CONTRAST

Classic black-and-white keeps the Christmas spirit modern.
Cookie cutters define the clay trees, but each one is distinct,
original, and easy to customize. The technique makes it simple
to make multiples for gift toppers, hostess gifts, or party favors.

TREE DELIVERY

When Santa arrives with the Christmas tree, he’s an especially

welcome visitor. His cream beard and red garb stand out

against the rich midnight-black background. Simple stitching

embellishes the wool appliqués, adding depth and dimension.
