Nothing says it's Christmastime quite like decorating the tree. It's one tradition that's enjoyed by everyone — young and old.
Ornaments are a large part of the seasonal excitement.
Consider getting fused glass ornaments if you want to add a personal touch to your Christmas tree. These ornaments are made of durable glass and can showcase your personality beautifully.
Should You Buy Fused Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments to Decorate?
Glass ornaments seem very impractical for getting your Christmas tree to sparkle. "Won't they break?" you'll ask, likely your first and only question about this mesmerizing ornament.
The short answer is no. These ornaments possess remarkable resilience — as far as Christmas ornaments go. Compared to many other ornaments, and when made by a practiced artisan, fused glass is renowned for its durability, making it a popular choice in various artistic and functional applications. Through the meticulous process of heating multiple layers of glass until they fuse together, a strong bond is formed, enhancing the glass's resistance to chipping, cracking, and fading.
Keep in mind, that if you have small children or furry friends that like to play with ornaments on the tree, to hang your fused glass ornaments higher to keep them safe. Even if you're not a sentimental tree decorator, no one wants to clean up a shattered mess of colorful glass off the floor.
Fused glass typically won't break or shatter when dropped unless you throw them to the floor with great force. If it's the latter, it's not only glass Christmas tree ornaments that'll break but any ornament.
Thankfully that sturdiness is why these glass ornaments are also perfect for gifting. The array of unique and colorful glass ornaments you can find online means you can share the excitement and beauty of fused glass with loved ones.
How to Decorate a Christmas Tree With Fused Glass Ornaments
You can decorate a Christmas tree using fused glass ornaments in two ways: decorate the entire tree using these ornaments or add in a few here and there.
Decorating an Entire Christmas Tree with Glass Ornaments
If you love an aesthetic tree like the ones you'll see in model homes or catalogs, you may choose to decorate your Christmas tree with glass ornaments, which is a great idea if you have more than one tree in your home.
Glass ornaments catch the light beautifully and make this relaxing clinking sound when they move around in the tree — kind of like tree chimes.
The best way to decorate an entire tree with glass Christmas tree ornaments is to start with glass bobbles in your color scheme. Then you can use fused glass Christmas tree ornaments to add personality — and color — to your tree.
Mixing and Matching Glass Ornaments with Other Christmas Tree Ornaments
If you're looking to add glass ornaments to your growing collection of decorations, you'll maybe only want to add a few ornaments each year.
To give each ornament sentimental value, you can send your family and friends a link to Fuse Muse Fused Glass to see the ornaments you think they'd like and let them pick their own.
Then add these ornaments to the tree, either with the help of your family or on their behalf. Doing it this way will help you narrow the glass ornaments you want to add this year.
