Description
This fabric capybara Christmas decoration is a plush shelf sitter with long bead legs that hang over the edge of wherever you set it. Its body is a soft brown fabric with a stitched smile, a darker brown nose and rounded ears, and two buttons run down its front like a little coat. Round its neck sits a red and white striped scarf with a fringed tail, and in one arm it hugs a red wrapped sweet. The legs are strings of pale, natural-toned beads ending in small brown boots trimmed with fluffy red cuffs. It measures 43cm tall, 17cm wide and 12cm deep, a good size for a shelf.
The capybara's calm, unhurried look makes it a gentle, good-humoured character for the festive season. Because the legs are made to dangle, it is happiest sitting on an edge: the end of a mantelpiece, a bookcase shelf, a windowsill, a sideboard or the top of a hall dresser. In a living room it adds a soft, homely touch among festive greenery, and on a bedroom or study shelf it brings a little Christmas warmth to an everyday corner. The brown, red and white colours suit rustic and modern rooms alike. It makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a characterful decoration.
The fabric is soft and plush to the touch, with the striped scarf and fluffy boot cuffs adding texture, and the bead legs swing when it is moved. It is a decoration rather than a toy. To care for it, brush the fabric with a soft dry cloth and spot clean a small mark with a barely damp cloth. Keep it away from open flames and direct heat, and store it somewhere cool and dry after the season. Sit it at the end of a shelf with its legs hanging free and it will greet everyone all through December.
