West Point Cadet Christmas Tree Ornament, Singles or in Sets, 5 1/2 Inch High, Military Ornament, Soldier Ornament, Cadet Ornament - Etsy

See asterisks for Ready to Ship -- Nostalgic style Christmas Tree ornament for graduation, birthdays, or holiday giving. This style sports a tall, fluffy plume in the hat. They are about 5.5 - 5.625 inches tall. These little darlings are very time consuming to put together because they have lots of parts, paint, glue, ribbon, lame cord, felt, and both chenille stems and glass beads in two sizes, all on an old fashion doll head clothespin with a ribbon hanger. I think you will appreciate the pride in workmanship. I do what I can to keep the cost down. Much of this is reinforced a second time for longer wear and more durable handling. Please be advised that there is some variation between clothespins (longer or shorter trunks depending upon the shipment and also some variation in wood color and texture). Price breaks by quantity. Order by the quantity (number of ornaments) you want. You build how many and what kind you want in your set.
