Santa’s Sleigh

12/29/09 – Santa’s Sleigh – Filled with your desired gifts and presents, this Santa’s Sleigh pattern can be customized to any desired look. I have used a pilot pin to accent and add the tiny details on my piece. This is another pattern that is really great for using up all that scrap glass. A pulled piece of glass can be used for the runner, cut and bend a rod, or cut a piece of glass for the piece. Personalize the piece with a name if desired.

Peppermint Candy

12/27/09 – Peppermint Candy – A swirled red and white stripped peppermint candy pattern that can be turned into a unique spicy pin or fused into any other project for the holiday season. You can almost taste the peppermint when viewing this finished piece. Brought to a full fuse, the colors melt into each other making this piece look like a piece of peppermint candy ready to be popped into your mouth. Wouldn’t this also be a nice accent on a fused platter filled with your holiday treats?

Personalized Christmas Ornaments

12/22/09 – Personalized Christmas Ornaments – There is something special about a keepsake Christmas present and personalized Christmas ornaments can fit that bill. Adjust the pattern for your particular size need. Add a high temperature wire so that they can be hung from the Christmas tree, make personalized place settings, or fused the design into other fused projects. They can be personalized using either Glassline paints or adorn them after firing.

Holly Jolly Christmas

12/20/09 – Holly Jolly Christmas – Time to have a holly jolly Christmas with this colorful holly branch design. I have turned this piece into a pin design for the holidays, but it would really look adorable fully fused into a platter for all those Christmas goodies. Use several different colors of green to add character to the piece. Glassline paints or a silver pilot pin is fantastic to add veins to the leaves. Before assembling the piece, red dots need to be made for the berries.

I am wrapping up the Christmas holiday season, and there are lots of pattern ideas on the Fused Glass Christmas page. Check it out!

Pine Cone Pattern

11/29/09 – Pine Cone – The pine cone is covered with evenly placed cones that overlap each other. This pattern involves using fiber paper to keep the layers from melting into each other and becoming one solid piece. After firing the fiber paper can be removed and any leftover residue can be washed away.
