Why celebrate with one Christmas tree when you can have a lot more? Indian artisan Pramod Panwar enriches the magic of the holidays with this set of six wool felt ornaments made in the shape of enchanting Christmas trees. Each accessory is ornamented with exquisite cotton embroidery work, allowing for a cute illusion that can be easily displayed thanks to their cotton cords. In addition, the pieces have a storage bag.

A set of four trees makes a lovely addition to your holiday decor. Costa Rican artisan Blanca Padilla handcrafts these stars out of the fiber extracted from cabuya, a succulent that looks like agave. The artisan works with the cabuya's natural texture to form the trees, each a different color and topped with a red ribbon bow.

The art and skill of creating handicrafts from cabuya has been handed down through Blanca Padilla's family for generations. The artisan sources her material herself, growing and harvesting the cabuya, extracting the fiber, and preparing it for use in the handicrafts. Blanca Padilla hopes to help revitalize the cabuya craft industry with the success of her designs.

Blue and green tones come together in a sweet set of three ornaments handcrafted by Fida Hussain in India. Working with wood, each tree-shaped accessory features hand-painted floral details and polyester strings to display their beauty anywhere.

Adding a touch of Christmas flair to your home, this quartet of Christmas trees is created by Balinese artisan Nik. She handcrafts each ornament from steel, depicting a green tree with starry cutout patterns. Plastic beads with a golden star charm dangle from each ornament. This set hangs from wire hooks.

Combining the beauty of nature with traditional handicrafts, Gunadi presents this set of four ornaments which are created by Javanese artisans. Each ornament is carved from wood in the shape of a heart, decorated with teal leaf motifs or intricate vines on red. The designs are applied using the batik method; a wax resist is added before the wood is treated with colorful dyes. Afterward, the wax is boiled away.
