"Ghost Story" Handmade Vintage Inspired Spun Cotton Ornament

The lost art of Spun Cotton is an old world method of creating ornaments and figures. It began as a homemade craft in 19th century Germany, when local artisans would mold or wrap cotton batting into shapes (often fruits, vegetables, and holiday figures) and adorn them with sparkly mica chips or glass glitter. These beautifully simple old world techniques are still available to us today, but rarely used.

All of my spun cotton ornaments are made simply and traditionally with wire, cotton, corn starch, water, paint, and authentic embellishments such as mica flakes and German glass glitter.

This is a handmade, vintage inspired spun cotton ornament. It has a wire for hanging. It is dusted with traditional mica flakes for sparkle and is around 2.5 inches tall (about 5 inches including the wire).

Due to the handmade nature of this item, no two Ghost Story Ornaments will be exactly the same, and a made to order Ghost Story Ornament will not be an exact duplicate of the ornament pictured.
