Description
Peo is a pair of hanging Christmas decorations in felted wool: two little mice in red band uniforms, sold as a set of two. One carries a drum on a strap and holds a drumstick ready to play; the other stands to attention under a tall hat with a glittering crown. Both jackets have rows of tiny buttons, braid across the chest and epaulettes on the shoulders, and each mouse has a long tail and a string loop at the top of its hat for hanging. They measure 9cm long, 13cm wide and 17cm tall, a size that shows up well on a tree without crowding the branches.
These are made for the Christmas tree, but they work just as well hung from a few bare twigs in a vase on a sideboard, tied along a garland on the mantelpiece, or looped over a door handle in the hall. Because they come as a pair, they make an easy small gift for a friend who collects tree decorations or for someone dressing their first tree in a new home. They suit a traditional Christmas, and the nutcracker feel of the uniforms sits happily beside wooden ornaments, glass baubles and plenty of fresh greenery.
Each mouse is made from 100% wool, felted to a dense, softly fuzzy surface, and filled with 100% polyester so it keeps a plump, rounded body. Felted wool is soft to the touch and holds a modelled shape well, which suits small figures like these. The hat bands, crown, buckle and drum rim are picked out in glitter, so there is plenty to look at close up. For the best effect, give the pair a branch to themselves near the front of the tree at eye level, where the drummer and its crowned companion can be seen side by side.

Frequently Asked
What are the mice made of?
Each mouse is made from 100% wool with a felted finish, and the filling inside is 100% polyester, giving a soft, rounded figure.
How big are these Christmas decorations?
They measure 9cm long, 13cm wide and 17cm tall, a size that sits comfortably on a Christmas tree branch or a display of bare twigs.
What do I get in the set?
You get two decorations sold together: a mouse playing a drum and a mouse wearing a tall crowned hat, both dressed in red band uniforms.
How do they hang?
Each mouse has a string loop rising from the top of its hat, so you can slip it straight over a branch, a hook or a door handle.
Can I use them somewhere other than the tree?
Yes. They look just as good hung from bare twigs in a vase, tied along a mantelpiece garland or added to an indoor wreath.
