An exquisite addition to any holiday tree, our Fair Trade Worry Doll Wreath Ornament is handcrafted with a dozen unique Guatemalan dolls, each adorned with beautiful small worry dolls dressed in traditional fabric. Lovingly presented with a bow of golden threads, it's sure to lend an elegant, exclusive touch to your décor.
According to Guatemalan tradition, children tell their worries to the worry dolls and then place them under their pillow when they go to bed at night. The worry dolls shoulder the responsibility of the problem, freeing the worrier and allowing them to sleep peacefully. Come morning, the dolls have gifted the worrier the knowledge and wisdom to eliminate their worries.
