Make Your Own Mari Lwyd Christmas Decoration.

This decoration measures 5.5cm x 9cm and has been made with sustainable ply wood and material has been sourced from a local scrap store.

The Mari Lwyd (Welsh: Y Fari Lwyd) is a rarely celebrated folk custom found in South Wales. The tradition entails the use of an eponymous hobby horse which is made from a horse's skull mounted on a pole and carried by an individual hidden under a sackcloth.

It represents a regional variation of a "hooded animal" tradition that appears throughout Great Britain.

Decorate your Mari Lwyd by looping or tying the ribbons, material and wool through the hole.

Decorate like you are a Horse skull being carried around the pubs of Wales!
