HISTORY OF SPUN COTTON:

Spun cotton ornaments were among the most popular German decorations at the turn of the century...making them was very much a cottage industry with families assembling figurines by hand in their homes by wrapping cotton batting tightly around a wire or cardboard frame to form shapes of humans, animals or even fruits and vegetables (a common theme of Victorian decorating.) Faces would be hand-painted or a lithograph scrap face would be glued to the cotton batting. Human figures would be dressed in crepe paper. Each ornament had its own a personality, unlike the mass-produced feel of many Christmas ornaments available today.

STAN AND STEW'S SPUN COTTON ORNAMENTS & FIGURES:

Inspired by Victorian spun cotton ornaments of years ago; my creations are updated store with the many embellishments that are available today (the Victorians would be so envious...) Most of my designs are either kitty cats or doggies and are themed with today's holidays and occasions...I've enjoyed designing and making each one and hope that they will become heirlooms of tomorrow...start your collection today!
