Description
Meet Larry Lobster, a bright red felt Christmas tree decoration with plenty of character and a twisted cord ready for the branch. He is shaped in soft felt from the tips of his long antennae to the fan of his tail, with two chunky claws held out in front, a row of little legs along each side and a ridged, segmented back. A pair of white eyes with black centres gives him a cheerful, wide-awake look. He measures 11cm wide, 9.6cm deep and 3.5cm high, a size that stands out clearly on a branch among the baubles without crowding them.
Larry is a natural fit for a tree with a seaside or coastal theme, but his warm red sits just as happily among traditional red and gold decorations. Hang him on the kitchen tree, from a garland along the staircase or on a few winter branches in a jug on the windowsill, and he brings a smile to anyone who catches sight of him. He also makes a cheerful Christmas present in his own right, easy to tuck into a stocking or add to a hamper of festive treats.
His red and white twisted cord is fixed into his back, so he hangs from a branch, a hook or a length of ribbon with his claws reaching forward. Felt is soft and light, with nothing to shatter if he takes a tumble from a branch. To keep the felt looking its best, dust him gently with a soft dry brush, keep him away from candles, open fires and damp, and pack him in a box with a little tissue when the tree comes down. Our favourite trick is to tie him onto the ribbon of a wrapped present, so the gift topper goes straight onto the tree once the paper is off.
