Craig Bachman Cardinal Set of 6 — 3 Male and 3 Female

Bring woodland color, natural detail, and elegant seasonal character to your designs with this set of six artificial cardinals by Craig Bachman.

Each bird is finished in soft, fabric-covered feathers with a traditional crest rising above the head, a dark mask across the face, and a small conical beak. The males are fully dressed in rich cardinal red across the body, wings, and long tapered tail, with darker wingtips and a deep mask. The females show the species' natural coloring — warm tan and soft buff bodies with red accents on the wings, tail, crest, and breast. Both carry visible eye detail and fine texturing across the wing feathers.

The set includes three male and three female birds, so you can create matched pairs, mixed groupings, or distribute them evenly through a large design.

At approximately 8 to 9 inches long including the tail, each bird is a substantial accent. Use them perched among greenery in wreaths, tucked into garlands and swags, nestled in Christmas trees and centerpieces, or arranged as a tabletop vignette. Because they read as perched birds rather than wired sprays, they anchor a design with natural character rather than blending into filler.

Their red, tan, and brown palette suits traditional Christmas designs, woodland and lodge styling, snowy farmhouse arrangements, winter decor, and natural year-round decorating. Whether paired with pinecones, evergreen greenery, plaid ribbon, or burlap, the cardinals add color, texture, and lifelike charm.

Perfect for Wreaths, Trees, and Woodland Displays

Christmas Wreaths

Perch one or two cardinals in the greenery beside or above the bow so they appear to be sitting in the branches. The red male reads strongly against evergreen.

Pair with the red and white plaid reversible ribbon, buffalo check, pinecones, and ivory berries.

Christmas Trees and Tree Cascades

Place cardinals throughout a tree at varying heights and depths, hiding the bases among the branches. Mixing males and females creates natural variety.

Mantel Garlands and Staircase Swags

Tuck the birds into garland greenery at intervals, or group a male and female together as a matched pair.

Woodland and Lodge Decor

Combine with the Craig Bachman pine cone picks, wood slices, cedar greenery, and bronze ornaments for a cabin-inspired arrangement.

Container and Tabletop Vignettes

Arrange several birds on a tabletop, mantel ledge, or in a container among greenery and pinecones for a collected woodland display.

Snowy Farmhouse Styling

Pair with the flocked Norfolk pine, silverwash cedar, natural burlap, and frosted ornaments. The red males read beautifully against snow-dusted greenery.

Gift Baskets and Wrapped Presentations

Add a bird to a holiday gift basket or large wrapped package as a dimensional keepsake accent.

Brian's Designer Styling Tip

For a traditional Christmas wreath, perch a male cardinal in the greenery just above and beside the main bow so it appears to be sitting in the branches.

Pair with the red and white plaid reversible ribbon, buffalo check, pinecones, and ivory berries. The red plumage will echo the red in the plaid while standing out against the greenery.

For a mountain or woodland mantel, group three birds along the ledge at different depths, mixing males and females, with the Craig Bachman pine cone picks and cedar greenery layered behind them.

For a tree, distribute all six at varying heights and angles, hiding each base within the branches so the birds read as though they landed naturally.

Because the birds already carry rich color and detail, balance them with matte naturals and one or two reflective accents. Where you place them in greenery, wire through the base or feet rather than the body so the feather covering stays intact
