How Do You Make A Fused Glass Gingerbread Ornament?
Handmade fused glass Christmas ornaments can be knockouts… even keepsakes. If you’ve never worked with glass fusing, this type of project is an enjoyable introduction. Stained glass studios and retail shops, art centers, and county recreation departments offer workshops on making fused glass ornaments, usually in the fall and winter. If you can find one and get to it, you’ll have a ball. If a class isn’t feasible, but you have a friend or a glass studio nearby, it’s possible to rent the equipment you need by the hour and learn by doing. Select Your Glass You have lots of choices! First select the color of glass that you want your gingerbread boy and/or girl to be. Brown is traditional, but you can use any color you like. Check out these bright spring green gingerbread ornaments that I made a few years ago. After you’ve thought about the color, decide whether you want to be able to see through the glass or not. Opaque or opal glass does not let much light pass through it. Transparent
