This set of four felt ornaments: Tiger, Bull, Mango, and Chilli, is handmade by our friends at Né Nepal in Kathmandu, who work with a group of skilled artisans who have been practicing the craft for more than 15 years. Each piece is shaped, rolled, and detailed entirely by hand, so no two are exactly alike. Think tiny works of art for your tree, your mantel, or wherever you like a little extra spice during the holidays.

Meet the maker

Né Nepal was founded by Tulja and Ishu in 2018 out of a shared love for Nepalese art, craft, and culture, and a desire to see the incredible work of Nepalese artisans valued on a global stage. They started by working with makers they already knew through their families and communities, building long-term relationships around the idea that handcraft should be treated as skilled, valuable work. These ornaments are made in Kathmandu by a team of 15 women and 4 men who have been practicing felt-making for more than 15 years. Each piece is shaped, rolled, and detailed by hand, turning wool, water, soap, and a whole lot of patience into the tiny Tiger, Bull, Mango, and Chilli you see here. We love the little variations that come with that process, they’re a reminder that these aren’t factory-made decorations, but pieces made by real hands.

What is included in the Diaspora Spice Co. Felt Christmas Ornament Set?

The Diaspora Spice Co. Christmas Ornament set includes four handmade felt ornaments: a Tiger, a Bull, a Mango, and a Chilli. Each one brings a pop of color and a whole lot of personality to your tree or mantel for the holiday season.

How are the felt ornaments made?

Felt ornaments begin with wool, water, soap, and plenty of friction, as makers rub and roll the wool into shape by hand. Once the main form dries, smaller details are attached with needle-felting for a precise, finished look.

Who makes the felt Christmas ornaments?

These Christmas felt ornaments are handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal, by our friends at Né Nepal. They work with a group of skilled artisans who have been practicing the craft of felting for more than 15 years.

Are the felt ornaments identical?

Handmade felt ornaments are never exactly alike, because each one is shaped and detailed by hand. Small variations between pieces are a natural part of the craft, and we love that!

What size are the felt ornaments?

Each felt ornament varies slightly in size and weight, since every piece is handmade. The Bull measures about 9 x 8.5cm (11g), the Tiger about 12cm at its widest point (40g), the Chilli about 12cm long (6g), and the Mango about 16cm (27g), with small natural variations from piece to piece.

How do I clean felt ornaments?

Felt ornaments should be dusted with a soft brush or lint roller only, with no water or soap. Wool felt shrinks and loses its shape when wet, so a damp ornament should be air dried away from direct heat.

How much does the Felt Christmas Ornament Set cost?

The Diaspora Co. Handmade Felt Ornament Set is priced at $44 for all four ornaments: Tiger, Bull, Mango, and Chilli. These handmade felt ornaments are also available individually at $14 each.

How should I store felt ornaments between seasons?

Felt ornaments store best in a breathable pouch or box in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, to prevent fading. Adding a cedar or lavender sachet helps deter moths, since 100% wool can attract them.
