Christmas Ornament Pendants

Description

Okay I am having way too much fun making these, they are so pretty! I'm so glad I did a rush order for more glass vials.

I have some tiny origami in several of them, then tried layers of glitter like sand art for a few of them. Tiny bells, nice glass beads and ribbon. I will have to see if there is a local community craft fair or something, otherwise they be on my etsy. Which one do you like the best? Ideas for others?

Sale On these babies right now! [link] You can get a set for ornaments, or a single one for a necklace pendant. Fully customizable. Please share, I want to find these guys loving homes since they are so cute and pretty.

These are adorable! I particularly like the star vials - I guess it's because they're more symbolic of Christmas than the round flasks are. It's also a lot easier to understand what's going on in the vial with the star-shaped ones.
The glitter and sand art idea was really good and I think it worked beautifully with the blue glitter one, it reminds me of snow and sleigh bells. The sand you used for the stripey could maybe do with a bit of improvement, maybe you purposefully made the green stripe bigger, but it looks unbalanced, especially with the yellow sand at the bottom as well.
I love making origami stars in my spare time and that glittery paper you used is so cool! The yellow and white star vial is nice, but I feel as if the colours in the green and red one are too different: I know they're Christmas colours and you're trying to get into the spirit of the season, but green and red are complementary colours and although eye-catching, it's a bit jarring on the eyes.

My only worries about these ornaments is that they look a bit heavy: would they hang well on the Christmas tree? And as a necklace or pendant - they're pretty, but the bells and ribbons would get in the way, not to mention the weight and the size. They're a bit impractical for that.
Despite all that, overall I think they're wonderful, and perfect trinkets to give for the Christmas season <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
