These are the tree ornaments I made for 2017.  Most of them are Basswood with glass pin heads for eyes, mouth and buttons.  The arms are black wire.

Coffee Wizard SnowPerson: His coffee bean hat is walnut.  The lightning bolt finial is holly with red glitter on one side and silver glitter on the other.  It turns.  His magic wand is holly with a red glitter lightning bolt.  His buttons are real coffee beans.  His coffee cup tray is cherry, with holly cups.  I gave him a temporary (clear label) caffeine tattoo.

The Wizard has a cherry nose and hat.  His staff is walnut with a bead.  His beard is 26 gauge white wire.

The Dental Hygienist's tool handles are aluminum wire.  The mirror is flattened silver colored wire.  The pick tools are pin tips.  I included a second photo so you could see her tooth tattoo.  I added the cap and face mask after the tattoo picture was taken.
