Description
This skating boots Christmas tree decoration brings a little winter rink to the branches in rich red and gold. Two boots sit side by side, each with wide gold braid running down the front, gold cord laced and tied into a bow at the top, and clear jewel-like embellishments that catch the light. Beneath each boot runs a gold glitter blade in the style of an old-fashioned skate. The decoration measures 41cm from top to bottom, 12cm wide and 10cm deep, so it holds its own on a full-sized tree rather than disappearing among the needles.
Hang it where it can be admired up close: at eye level on the front of the tree, from a garland along the mantelpiece, or from a hook in the hallway. The red and gold sit happily within a traditional Christmas scheme of deep reds, greens and gold baubles, and the skating theme adds a wintry story alongside stars and snowflakes. It works as a single feature piece on a smaller tree, or mixed in among a tree full of family ornaments. It also makes a charming finishing touch on a Christmas gift, tied to the ribbon of a wrapped parcel.
Gold braid trims the edges of each boot, and a red cord joins the two and gives the decoration its loop for hanging. The blades carry a fine gold glitter finish, so lift it by the boots rather than the blades to keep the sparkle where it belongs. For care, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry. When the tree comes down, wrap it in tissue and lay it in a box so the bows and braid keep their shape for next Christmas. On the branch, a twist of gold or red ribbon above it finishes a classic, traditionally dressed tree.
