Choose from a variety of shapes, including the beloved German American tradition of the Pickle Ornament, along with beautiful designs like Icicles, Leaves, and Tear Drops. After selecting your preferred shape and colors, you’ll be guided through the creation process using a benchtop torch.

In just 20 minutes, you’ll craft one exquisite ornament to treasure for years to come. Don’t miss this chance to create a personalized piece of holiday magic!
