Northern cardinals don't migrate south. They stick around for the winter, adding a pop of scarlet red to the pale landscape, singing: "Cheer cheer cheer " . . . Wait, remind us again why stars are the traditional tree topper? The top branches of your tree fit into the interior pocket at the base of this topper. Arcadia Home designs are handmade. Each design is as unique as the artisan who creates it. Arcadia Home felt plans are hand-felted, hand-appliqued, and lovingly made from 100% sustainable wool by artisans working in India. The facility where these pieces are produced is an award-winning model of sustainability, which runs on solar electricity, collects rainwater, and recycles water on-site. By collaborating with this artisan group, Arcadia Home is helping to preserve the tradition of felt making in the area, promote eco-friendly business, and provide fair and safe employment for hundreds of artisan felt-makers, sheepherders, and sewists. Our artisans are experts in their craft- creating the heirlooms of tomorrow. Placing The Topper On The Tree: There is a pocket in the bottom of the tree topper. Simply insert the top branch/branches of the tree into the interior pocket. If the branches are thin- a bit of aluminum foil wrapped around the branch will create a tighter fit.
