These have been made using a vintage knitting pattern that was destined for landfill due to having a piece missing. You will receive a set of 10 random colours unless you specify a certain colour. As each set is hand drawn the tags you receive may differ slightly from the one photographed. They measure 2 1/2 in by 2in (7cm by 5cm) and are backed with cardboard to give them strength and also somewhere to write your gift giving sentiments! These can be used as traditional gift tags, as merchandise labels or for scrapbooking/card making.

You can probably guess that he likes to dance at the disco :) Albert has been stuffed with rice for his photo shoot but he will come to you flat with a handy zipper on his bum so that you can fill him up with rice, sand or beans. He has bright felt details and buttons for eyes. He measures approx 14cm (6in) tall and 15cm (6in) wide. Thanks for looking and if Albert isn't quite to your tastes then check out the other chicken doorstops I have. I also have a HUGE range of fabrics - if you would like a particular colour or themed chicken (spotty/flowery etc) then get in touch and I'll see what I can do!
