This little guy measures approximately 8" tall sitting on top of a wide mouth jar lid. You can use rusty, black, or paint your own lids (these should be available at www.country-whims.com around 3rd week in February). You can use either rusty wire (18, 20, or 22 gauge) or chenille stems for his arms. Top seller for "2025"! I made him out of Warm and Natural batting and then tea stained him.
