Christmas ornaments, bells, "articulated" ornaments or "artificial ornaments", decorative objects, are all ornaments used to adorn Christmas trees. These ornaments are made by the following methods: weaved, blow molded, blow dried, molded or carved out of acrylic or other polystyrene. Each of these methods of manufacture provides a range of styles that will suit particular tastes. Some manufacturers produce a wide range of ornaments in one or two ways. Others will create a series of similar ornaments which may be "artistically" designed to reflect the individual character of their Christmas tree.
One
of the most traditional personalized family ornament used to dress up Christmas trees is the
"articulated" ornaments. These ornaments are generally made from
inexpensive ornaments which have been "artistically" created with
metal, glass or wood. They are sometimes also covered with precious stones or
gems. In some cases, an entire set of Christmas glass ornaments can be made from
one piece of art. Examples of this include modern-day Christmastime Baubles and
Christmastime Balloons.
Balloons
are a type of Christmas ornaments. In addition to decorating Christmas trees,
these unique ornaments are used as party favors and for decorations at various
holiday celebrations. There are a number of different types of Christmastime
balloon ornaments available such as the traditional red and green "balloon
balls" which are traditionally tied around tree branches and hung from them.
Another
type of Christmas ornaments are the Woolworth glass ornaments. Woolworth is the
oldest known manufacturer of glass ornaments in Great Britain. These glass
ornaments are a bit different than the ones you would purchase at the mall.
Instead of being flat or rectangular, Woolworth glass ornaments are actually
hand crafted masterfully by artisans in Great Britain. The artisans that make
these hand crafted ornaments are called "wefts". Some of the most
common ornaments produced by Woolworth are the following:
This
category of Christmas ornaments represents the spirit of the holidays. You'll
find that these beautiful glass ornaments are often displayed on the Christmas
tree as well. When purchasing this type of ornament, you will want to purchase
one that is made of high quality craftsmanship and has been carefully decorated
to match the Christmas tree. Some of the more common glass ornaments that are
displayed on Christmas trees are the following: the sleigh bells, cranyard
cactus, Christmas star, mistletoe, Christmas star decoration, snowman and
snowflakes. These ornaments can also be found in other holiday themes including
the Nativity and the Star on top of the Christmas tree.
These
ornaments are made from real antiques and are handmade in the United States and
England. In addition to being a decorative item, Woolworth carries a variety of
other Woolworth products that can be used to create keepsake ornaments. These
ornaments include: the poinsettia, Christmas candle, white star, Christmas
heart, Christmas stocking and the snowman. There are many other ornaments that
are available for purchase. You can find them at your local woolworths as well
as in other stores around the world such as Target, Walmart and Bed, Bath and
Beyond.
Woolworths
also sells glass ornaments that can be used to create a whimsical ornaments
display. They carry an array of glass ornaments including: snowflakes, bells,
mistletoe, star, Santa's hat, Christmas star, reindeer, holly leaves, Christmas
tree and gingerbread man. These ornaments come in different colors such as:
black, red, green and silver. The majority of the collection at the woolworths
is made from glass and they are excellent for individuals who want to have
their own personalised ornaments display.
