Clear Glass Christmas Ornaments-Make Or Buy

Your Own Personalized Glass Christmas Ornaments

You can either make or buy your own personalized glass christmas ornaments, whatever you choose!! I will give you some examples on how to make your own or you can go to where I personally purchase several of mine:

Merry Christmas!!

Clear Glass Ball Ornaments
All kinds of ideas for things you can do with clear glass ornaments...
Using a Mini Winter Scene- Place face snow and put tiny little pinecones in the ball and replace the cover.

Mini Nature Scene. Using bird seed-open the top of the ball and fill it one-third of the way to the top. But a little bird from the art store-place it on top of artificial pine with a cinnamon stick and then replace the top This can make a very cute ornament and I use my hot gun for the whole process

Christmas Ornaments-Clear Glass

How bout a popcorn filled one!! It's easy. Remove the metal top. Inside the ornament place about 15-25 kernals of popcorn! (First of all take off some of the oily gunk.) Leave in the microwave for 1-2 minutes inside a paper bag. You have to listen cafefully though because you may not need to leave them in there the whole time. It will be hot when it is done popping so be carefull. If you so choose put some glitter on the popcorn. Hang it from you tree with a little pretty ribbon on top!!

Put photos in them. One time I took a picture of my kid at halloween and placed it inside Cutting the picture in a circle works best. To hold the picture in place-put some tinsel behind it. added a ribbon and gave them to the kids.

Fill with shells and sand for an interesting beach look.

Use silk fs. Gently remove the silk then place them down the neck.

To make some sand ornaments fill with several layers of sand!

Refurbish 'Em: Clear Glass Christmas Ornaments
Why buy brand new ones, take old scratched balls (or new ones) and soak them in full strength bleach for several minutes. Rinse with warm sudsy water. The bleach will take away what once was silver and now clear. You may need to use a Q-tip to get all the silver out. Its much more affordable then buying new balls.

Decorative Glass Doors

If you're considering remodeling, or looking at the interior designs of a new home, you'll certainly be looking at painting the walls different colors and adding different types of carpeting, tile, or wood floors.

However, have you ever considered what you might want for the doors? Sure, there are the classic light, white wooden doors, or the Very Heavy carved medieval-looking wood doors; however, heavily carved old-fashioned doors tend to be stained in darker colors, and create a rather gloomy atmosphere in your home.

For a more modern, contemporary design, you might want to consider decorative glass doors instead.

Why use decorative glass doors? Well, there are plenty of reasons for that! One major advantage that a decorative glass door ahs over a dark, old, medieval wooden door is the ability to allow light from room to room.

The transfer of so much daylight throughout the house will create an overall lighter atmosphere, allowing more daylight into your home and creating a warmer effect.

Recently, studies have shown that exposure to plenty of daylight inside the home is good for your health because it wards off depression and also increases your productivity.

Decorative glass doors come in many shapes, sizes, and designs. For a more contemporary look, you may just simply want to consider an elegant glass door with gold or silver metallic touches on the edges; clear glass will allow the door to let in the most light.

These can be effective for the door leading to your patio or deck, so that you get a nice, clear view of the backyard. A decorative glass door also may be used for office and room doors.

However, when you are considering doors for the bathroom, you may want to use a frosted glass door, because frosted glass doors are more translucent and provide much more privacy than a clear glass door.

This same idea goes for the shower; while shower curtains might suffice, having a glass door for your shower will allow more light in so that you no longer have to stand in the dark shower-you can enjoy the warm water in the light!

Frosted glass can come in many different variations. There is frosted textured glass that isn't quite transparent but not that translucent either, and simply has wavy designs all over the glass so that it's difficult to see the clear image on the other side.

There's also sandblasted frosted glass, which creates sort of a grayish, almost plastic-like sheen over the glass to create translucency.

Another type of decorative glass door is the stained glass door. Stained glass doors can be used as front doors because they tend to be a bit fancier, though I would not recommend you use bright contrasting colors on your stained glass door, as that may seem a bit over-bright and difficult to match to your exterior house design.

Many homeowners have also used stained decorative glass doors as their cabinet doors, and these create beautiful effects for your kitchen area, as it allows light to travel into and light up all your cabinets-and thus, your entire room.
