Each Ballet Mouse ornament brings movement, softness, and grace to Christmas décor. Her delicate features, the blush wool dress, tiny felt slippers, stitched face, and bow, reflect the harmony of whimsy and craftsmanship. From the curve of her ears to the tilt of her arms, every detail is made to glow among evergreen branches, wreaths, or garland.

  • Playful Felt Design: Crafted from natural ivory wool and dressed in a hand-felted blush tutu, the Ballet Mouse features brown-tipped hands and feet, a dainty pink bow, and fine stitched details that give her life and character. Her poseable limbs let her “dance” on the tree, adding dimension and a little storybook magic to your Christmas ornaments collection.
  • Naturally Dyed & Sustainable: Made with plant-based, azo-free dyes that create soft, enduring color while staying gentle for homes that care about natural materials. The palette of blush, ivory, and warm neutrals blends easily with classic Christmas trees, winter whites, or cozy, handmade holiday decor.
  • Handcrafted Finish: Every ornament is sculpted, stitched, and dressed by hand, so no two are exactly the same. Each Ballet Mouse carries her own expression, her own tilt, her own charm, an artisanal treasure for holiday decorating.

Details

Each Ballet Mouse is a tiny celebration of craft and imagination, created to capture the wonder of movement and the warmth of handmade design. Whether twirling on a branch or peeking out from a stocking, she embodies the whimsy of winter stories and the timeless delight of handmade Christmas ornaments.

  • Thoughtful Design- Standing about 5 inches tall, the Ballet Mouse features a soft wool body in ivory with gentle brown-tipped paws and feet. Her dress, a pale blush tutu, is lightly textured to mimic tulle, and a delicate bow at her ear adds a touch of playfulness. The expressive stitched face gives her a kind, joyful look, while moveable arms and legs allow her to strike a pirouette, leap, or graceful curtsy on your Christmas tree. Lightweight and sturdy, she hangs beautifully among lights or sits prettily on a mantel display.
  • Sustainable Material- Made from 100% cruelty-free New Zealand wool, the Ballet Mouse honors nature as much as craft. The fibers are dyed using azo-free, plant-based dyes in soft pastel tones that stay gentle on home and planet. No harsh chemicals, no synthetics, just natural felt that keeps its structure, softness, and color through many holiday seasons.
  • Handmade Craft- Every mouse is carefully felted, stitched, and assembled by women artisans in Nepal who carry forward traditional wool-working techniques. Their artistry brings each figure to life, turning simple wool into expressive characters filled with warmth and individuality. Slight variations in stance, stitching, or color are part of the magic, each piece is truly one of a kind.
  • Comfort & Fit- Light and flexible, the Ballet Mouse is designed to hang securely on any Christmas tree branch or sit gracefully as a tabletop accent. Her balanced proportions and natural fiber weight ensure she stays in place. With simple care, she becomes a keepsake to pull out year after year, part of your family traditions and festive holiday atmosphere.
  • Ethical Production- Each ornament is handcrafted under fair-trade conditions, supporting artisan livelihoods and community-centered programs in Nepal.
