Need to Know
  • Handmade tree topper made from cotton string and wire.
  • The string is hand-dyed, French knitted to form a hollow cord, threaded with wire and sculpted by hand to resemble a peeled banana.
  • Measures approximately 20 x 15 x 25 (including the coil), with the banana part roughly the size of an actual banana.
  • To fix to your tree, twist the wire coil around the leader branch. I liken it to plaiting them together.
  • Coil size options: Standard Coil (1cm diameter) for most real trees and narrower artificial trees; Wide Coil (2cm diameter) for fuller trees, especially larger artificial trees.
  • All measurements are approximate as items are handmade.
  • Made from Everlasto strings and twines from the James Lever Factory in Bolton, UK, manufacturing for over 150 years.
  • All my string "things" are plastic free. Packaging can be re-used, composted and/or widely recycled.
  • Made from cotton string and wire.
  • Decoration Material & Flammability Note: Keep away from open flames, candles and other heat sources.
  • Will fit securely to most real Christmas trees and narrower artificial trees.
  • Natural cotton string is intended for practical uses so slight inconsistencies in colour, flecks and blemishes are all part of the charm.

A whimsical Peeled Banana Tree Topper, handmade from cotton string and wire.

I honestly don't know why I've ended up making it. Saying "Why not?" feels a bit of a cop out, but it's Christmas so let's embrace the whimsical and go with that.

When I first started making things out of string, I loved making objects of no use - a string cup, a daffodil, an aubergine. I guess these random objects cocked a snook at the pragmatic simplicity of a market stall. It was only a matter of time before one of the oddities ended up on top of a Christmas tree, so if you favour bonkers over hygge charm, then this might just be your tree topper for you.
