Design and styling

The painted finish and fabric scarf contribute to a farmhouse accent that complements rustic holiday decor and seasonal craft collections.

Constructed from hand painted wood, the piece includes sewn fabric scarf and attached button and tag accents. The heart-shaped opening is designed specifically to fit a standard battery tea light; never use a real flame. The finish is decorative and intended for indoor use only.

How to use

Insert a battery-operated tea light (not included) into the heart-shaped cavity; ensure the candle sits flat and the battery is accessible for simple on/off operation. Place on a stable, level surface away from drafts and direct heat. Because the item is a wood ornament and hand painted, avoid exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions.

As a one-of-a-kind candle votive and shelf sitter, this gingerbread man makes a unique gift for friends who collect holiday mantel accents or anyone who likes rustic Christmas decor. Ideal for seasonal craft lovers, collectors of wood ornament pieces, or those building a cozy farmhouse accent display.

About the painting

The piece was painted live during a Friday night craft session on Facebook, so brush strokes and hand-painted details are part of its character. Each mark reflects the one-off nature of the work; once purchased, the exact piece shown is gone from the studio.
