finished ornaments

Here they are finished!

My mom helped me make these today. I learned how to cut glass, grind the edges, foil, and solder. The paper is sandwiched between two foiled panes of glass, then wrapped with the foil tape to hold them together. Then, the foil is soldered and a ring is attached at the top.

I'm really happy with the way these turned out . (Sorry for the poor quality scan of these, it really doesn't do them justice! ) I like them so much, in fact, I plan to make a few more. :)

These are gifts for my son's grade 1 teacher and his bus driver (who is my uncle). On the flip side of the ornaments is a handwritten christmas greeting to each of them from my son.
