Nik handcrafted ornaments

"My name is Ni Ketut Lastini but my friends just call me Nik. I was born in Mas in 1980, the fourth child of seven. I'm so proud to have been born in Mas, which is also called the 'art village,' since there are many carvers of wood sculptures here. Since I was a girl, I have carved with my parents and siblings.

"I loved my childhood. I used to go to the rice fields after school. Sometimes, I helped make sculptures in order to earn more money. I usually used the money I earned to buy school supplies and even pay my school fees. I've had to work ever since I was a child because my parents are just farmers and carvers. But, they are hardworking, which has made me who I am today.

"Like other children in my village, I also went to school. I didn't just complete primary school but attended all the way through senior high. After graduating, I began to work. My career started as a salesperson. Aside from promoting things, I also sold fabric back in those days. Eventually, I met an American couple. I worked for them as a shopkeeper in their handicraft shop.

"One day, this American couple wanted to change their shop. They wanted to sell Christmas ornaments instead of handicrafts. Yet, their dream never came true, because the wife passed away. From that moment on, I wanted to carry on their dream.

"Making Christmas ornaments is one of my hobbies. Usually, an idea will come to my mind and then I bring it to life. Because I'm still single, I am helped by 12 other people. Aside from making ornaments, I also love to swim, run, and cycle. Due to my hobbies, my friends call me a hardworking and creative person.

"I hope you'll be able to promote my handcrafted ornaments so I can be a part of people's Christmas joy. Also, I want to recycle things like wood, steel, and aluminum into something better… like Christmas ornaments."

M Mary This is a unique approach to putting Garland on your Christmas tree. The shiny embossed stars are charming and very light weight. They are delicate, as they can bend easily, so store them flat in a box for the next year. They reflect light very nicely and I have enjoyed them on my tinsel silver Christmas tree. It would look really pretty on a green tree as well because of the contrast.

I wanted to expand my Christmas decor and decided to purchase these wooden trees. I love the "puzzle" aspect of assembly, the coloration, and the sizing differences. It was a great addition to my Christmas decor. I loved them so much that I ended up buying a second set.

I love these decorations. Some years I put them altogether and some years I put them in different places. They are easy to store since they come apart and are flat, and they are well made. The simple style is perfect for my home.

This product was a Christmas gift. What impressed me the most when I bought was the material it was made of and the cuteness of the two snowmen. The recipient loved it!

These snowmen decorated my mantle at Christmas and I left them up for winter because they are so cute. They are a very light weight wood and have a burnished metallic paint finish. They would make a nice gift. They are small but not too small.
