These fun and whimsical ornaments are handmade in Zimbabwe out of recycled aluminum cans. With seven different animals to choose from, they are created using a variety of different soda and beer cans, so your order will vary from what is pictured. Each generally measures between 3" and 4" on its longest dimension, with the tallest (the giraffe, of course) being 5" in height. Enjoy a holiday decoration that is eco-friendly and directly support African artisans!
Each of these items is different. The images shown are sample photos and do not show the exact item you are purchasing. Because each is handmade using upcycled materials, you should understand that the product you receive will vary in appearance.
