Two years ago I started a tradition

of making each member of my family (except for my elderly parents who are getting rid of stuff) fused glass Xmas ornaments. I've just finished this year's set:

Santas

Trees

Wreaths

You're already creating beautiful things. The more you do it, the quicker and easier it will become!

I've never tried anything with fused glass. Do you have a kiln?

I made a few polymer clay and felted ornaments for my son's future MIL and Aunt last year and for his fiance (who just had just bought a house and had an almost naked Christmas tree). This year it's a not very fun but a practical present for my future DIL - a ton of house insulation with my hubby installing it

when I moved to a place that had few craft classes (it also happened to be during the pandemic).

Believe me, when I was a new homeowner those practical gifts were truly appreciated!
