Today's post features this beautiful handmade kissing ball size Vintage Candy Cane Swirl Large Paper Lantern.
This is an One of a Kind large lantern size origami ornament made with Cosmo Cricket patterned paper, vintage red and blue, reminiscent of peppermint swirl candies. Paper is acid & lignin free. Each ornament is approximately 12" high from top to bottom of tassel with a coordinating 1/8" white satin ribbon loop to hang from (approx. 4 1/2"), finished with a gold filigree cone. A large gold bead flanked by red silver lined glass beads adorn a handmade red embroidery floss tassel. Each ornament is hand crafted - the paper form alone is 7" tall - kissing ball size; can be hung alone or in clusters. Each ornament comes with a recycled handmade gift box for storage.
I love making dimensional paper creations. There is a joy and zen quality about them when completed. What makes this ornament so special is the attention to detail, including handmade tassel and finishing touches...a true labor of love.
