I bought these at a craft show today. I've gotten past the "I could do that..." Well, depending on the price, and if I can use it as an idea to copy, lol.

Although these were made from felt, I think if the batting is the Warm & Natural, or Warm and White, it would work. Could those be dyed, esp. like a tea-dye to look aged? These are lightly stuffed. Gingerbread man and snowman havepuff paint for eyes, nose & mouth. Mittens came in many colors, including white with a red trim. The snowman is really the color of Warm & Natural, although it looks very white here. They had both, I just preferred this color rather than the more stark white. These are about 3" and could be used as an ornament or a gift-topper. Hmmm, if they were smaller, maybe a pin?

The lady selling them had scads, she uses all of the profits for a fund that sends Christmas trees to the troups overseas. She said the embellishments/buttons are what makes them. It was hard to choose!
