Glass Photo Ornaments with Your Picture
Glass photo ornaments are the everyday choice in our ornament range: light enough for any branch, clear enough to let tree lights through, and made from a photo you already have. We place your picture on clear glass in full colour, with room for a name or a year beside it, and send it out on a ribbon in a gift box.
Clear glass behaves differently from an opaque ornament on the tree. Hung toward the outside of a branch with a string bulb behind it, the glass passes light and lifts the picture; turned with the light in front, it reads more quietly. That one detail decides where on the tree a glass ornament earns its place, and it is worth passing on to whoever receives it.
Photo glass ornaments come in heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw shapes, and most designs are made in three sizes. The square is the largest piece of glass in the range and takes the least off a rectangular photograph; the heart narrows sharply and wants one subject.
Personalized Glass Christmas Ornaments by Design
Personalized glass christmas ornaments are grouped by occasion as well as by shape. First Christmas, family, wedding and anniversary designs leave room for a date, monogram designs add your initials to the photo, and winter scenes frame it with a Christmas setting. Glass christmas ornaments personalized with a year become a record of the family that reads in order along the branches.
Pet designs sit on paw and bone shapes as well as the classic ones, and the full pet range is on the ornaments for pet lovers page. A personalized glass ornament for a new baby or a new home is usually the first of many. Choose the size by the photograph rather than by the tree: one face reads clearly on the small size, while a couple or a family needs the medium or large to stay recognisable from a few feet away.
Custom Glass Ornaments and the Photo You Send
Custom glass ornaments are small, so a close photograph with one or two faces filling the frame works far better than a group taken from across a room. Our designers crop each picture to the shape and will tell you if a file will not hold at the size you choose. Glass picture ornaments read best hung near a bulb with the light behind them, where the clear glass lifts the image.
A custom glass ornament for one person and a set for the whole family are made the same way, so the choice is about how many people you are buying for rather than about quality. Personalized glass ornaments ordered at the same time from related photographs will always match better than ones bought years apart. If you are starting a yearly tradition, keep to one shape and one size from the beginning, so that the row on the tree reads as a set rather than a collection. Store each ornament in its own box between seasons; the box it arrives in is made for exactly that.
Glass Christmas Ornaments Set and Ordering
A glass christmas ornaments set is the usual choice for a first tree, because pieces bought together match in a way that separate purchases do not. You choose the combination: a set of glass christmas ornaments can mix shapes and designs freely. Custom glass christmas ornaments ordered in numbers carry a quantity discount from 10% at two pieces to 50% at fifteen, and Colour Enhancement is available at $1.99 per image.
Every ornament ships boxed on its ribbon, with free US delivery in 1-4 days and exact dates shown at checkout. To compare glass with crystal and metal, start from the full range of custom photo ornaments.
