Hand-strung Hatch Chile ristras, wreaths, and crosses, made from real dried pods on twine. Signature New Mexico decor, not for eating. Ristras hang from twine — drape over a nail or hook on a porch, doorway, or wall. They look best in a dry, ventilated spot. Wreaths and crosses have built-in hangers. Indoors in a dry spot: 1–3 years before the color fades and pods become brittle. Outdoors under cover (porch): 1–2 seasons. Direct sun + humidity will fade them faster. Est Lead 2–5 business days.
