Wheatstraw Tree CardPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6609080

SKU# 6609080

Christmas bells open to a fold-out holiday tree, beautifully crafted from hand-cut wheat straw.

Artisans cut and flatten wheat straw and even it by scraping with a knife. For larger pieces, wheat straw strips are fixed to paper to form a sheet from which designs are cut. For more detailed designs wheat straw is cut into thin strips, pieced together in layers. Artisans apply heat in varying degrees to make the range of tones from tan to dark brown or black. The cardboard base is covered with cloth to complete the item.
  • Wheat straw, cotton, paper
  • 4.5Lx10H inches
  • Made in Bangladesh
