This teeny tiny Christmas scene, called Three Little Kings, has been hand-crafted in the eye of a needle.

Well known micro-sculptor Willard Wigan worked 16 hours over four weeks to create the artwork, showing the three wise men wearing gold crowns and riding camels.

Mr Wigan, from Birmingham, used his own eyelash as a paintbrush, applied microscopic glitter as the starry background and said the camels are smaller than a full stop.

He told PA news agency, "What I want to do is bring a little bit of hope and happiness and shed a little light on the world with something so small.

"The little things in life can make us all happy sometimes."

This isn't the only mini masterpiece, check out our list of some of the greatest, but tiniest, creations.

Artist Pawel Zaluska captured amazing photos of soap bubbles as you've never seen them before - and they look like beautiful works of art!

He froze the bubbles to show his three year-old daughter how cold it was, to try to convince her to wear her coat outside the house.

The bubbles were frozen at -15 degrees.

The images show ice crystals forming on the bubble's surface, making it look like a snow globe.
