Hail a little holiday cheer with our Handmade Beaded Taxi Ornament. Inspired by the iconic yellow cabs of New York City, this intricately crafted ornament is hand-beaded by skilled artisans using hundreds of tiny glass beads. The detailed design captures the charm and energy of the city, making it a memorable keepsake for travelers, city lovers, and anyone with a special connection to the Big Apple.
Whether displayed on a Christmas tree, tucked into a travel-themed gift, or collected as a souvenir, this ornament brings a distinctive touch to holiday decorating. Each piece is handmade, making every ornament a one-of-a-kind treasure to enjoy for years to come.
2.5" front to back, 1" tall
Glass bead exterior; plastic filling
Spot clean
Handmade and Fairly Traded
Our beaded ornaments and pins are made by a women’s co-operative in a small village on the shores of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. The women work in groups of five or so to produce these designs. The glass beads are placed in a multicolored pile upon a flat surface in front of each woman, and are picked up on needles held between each woman's thumb and index finger in a process so quick and precise that it seems like sleight of hand. As beads accrue, the sculpture emerges. Beaders must learn to weave or sculpt each new design separately, and to achieve the uniformity necessary they must memorize hundreds of steps for each figure.
