Your support makes all the difference.For anyone who loves Christmas, decorating your Christmas tree has to be one of the highlights of the festive period.
The fairy lights, the baubles, the jubilant melody of Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” playing in the background… it can be a pretty magical experience.
Well, you can now make your Christmas tree even more spectacular thanks to these Christmas toppers from Women To Look Up To.
Spend your Christmas looking up to some of the world’s most inspirational female icons, including sporting legend Serena Williams, global superstar Beyoncé and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The idea for the toppers first came about last year when co-founders Savannah and Dom found themselves feeling fed up with their usual Christmas fairy.
“Last Christmas we looked up at the top of our Christmas Tree where the same old frumpy fairy we had been putting up for years sat looking down on us,” they said.
“We just felt uninspired, like she was a bit of a forgotten figure, even as a Catholic family, we didn’t really understand why it was such a tradition to place this outdated representation of a woman, or sometimes a man as the story turns out.
“Traditions can be borrowed and change with the needs of the times, as we felt the need was definitely there, in a world where we need positive role models more than ever before.”
So, Savannah and Dom set out creating their extraordinary Christmas toppers with a four-step 3D printing process.
Choosing Serena Williams and Beyoncé as their first two subjects, the duo began by 3D sculpting the individuals from photographs, which proved to be a laborious task for their digital artist.
The figurines were then carved out of plaster and hand finished for a glorious result.
