Create a set of fancy German glass glitter star and snowflake ornaments featuring Santa, angels, butterflies, and charming cats and dogs. Using wooden ornament shapes as a base, we paint, glitter and seal before combining Dresden foil stars, medallions and old fashioned die-cut scraps to add beautiful layers of interest. Take inspiration from one of our examples, or go totally custom with your own color and material combinations. Finished ornaments range from 2-1/2" (smallest stars) to 3-3/4" (largest stars).
