Five Ways to Decorate with Glass Christmas Ornaments

You may have perfected the art of hanging Christmas ornaments on the tree, but there are many other ways to decorate with glass Christmas ornaments. Glass ornaments can be found in both matte and shiny finishes, and in a variety of colors from your local craft supply store. Use jewel tones for a punchy modern look or stay elegant with shades of white and gold. Find the perfect look to suit your taste!

Get inspired by these five tips for decorating with glass ornaments:

  • Wreaths: Glue your glass Christmas ornaments to a foam wreath form to make a wreath entirely of Christmas ornaments. Add beads or colored jewels as other embellishments.
  • Ornament Trees: For a variation on the wreath, glue ornaments to topiary forms to create a modern take on the classic Christmas tree. You can also stack them in concentric rings on a holiday plate to form mini ornament towers.
  • Glass Holders: Fill clear apothecary jars, glass bowls, or hurricane lamps with ornaments. You can do this on a smaller scale with mini ornaments in bundles of smaller containers and vases. These displays are eye-catching and simple to put together.
  • Centerpieces: Make sparkly centerpieces by arranging pillar candles and shiny ornaments on mirrored surfaces. The light reflects beautifully and really adds pizazz to your holiday table.
  • Hanging Decorations: Tie a glass Christmas ornament to ribbon or wire and string it from exposed ceiling beams (if you have them) or chandeliers. Hang them at different heights so they appear as if they are floating up towards the ceiling, reminiscent of bubbles. Another idea is to create a garland that can be placed on your stairwell banister or with your stockings by the fireplace.

Glass Christmas ornaments can be used almost anywhere within your home to add color and sparkle. Whether you hang them or arrange them in clusters, they are an easy way to dress up your decorations during the holiday season.
