Star Fused Glass Christmas Tree Decoration

Fused Glass Star Christmas Tree Decoration

Stars to hang on your Christmas Tree. Fused, 5-point, with precious dichroic glass decoration to give an extra sparkle and strung from matching coloured ribbon.

8cm in diameter and 6 mm thick and fired in my kiln to a very hot temperature. This fuses all the glass together to a lovely smooth finish.

You can choose the one you want by clicking the little picture and adding to basket. Please note the stars you can select are the stars currently in stock.
I can make more, if you want specific colours please contact me before ordering and I will make some for you but that may take me a couple of days.

I have a fusing kiln. I have lots of glass and an addiction to making beautiful glass pieces.  I hope you like what I have made.

Made with and by Joy to be given with love.

The stars are all ready to post. Postage is charged as Royal Mail tracked 24 small package. Note that the postage will only be charged on one star. Postage is not charged for additional items.

These are glass stars, fused in my glass fusing kiln. My kiln is only small so I make only one-off pieces, no mass production is possible. Each piece of fused glass I make is unique and very special.  I can only fit 4 stars into my kiln at a time so I make them in batches of 4, always different colours.

The stars are all different colours and strung from matching ribbons and are decorated with dichroic glass to give them a special sparkle.

They hang from a ribbon so you can hang them on your tree.  My glass pieces though are for life not just for Christmas so they will happily hang anywhere else you choose to put them and can adorn your house all year round if you so wish.

The stars are made from 2 layers of bullseye glass. A coloured base topped with a clear layer. They are then decorated with pieces of dichroic and a little wire hanging loop is fused between the layers.

Then I pop the glass pieces into the kiln, switch it on and leave it to melt and fuse them into shiny, smooth, decorative and decorated stars.  I just love to lift my kiln lid to see what it has cooked for me while I sleep. I call it magic.

No two stars will ever be the same.  I add different decorations to each of them to ensure this.

Shipping Policy

My Shipping Policy

I will always do my very best to post out same or next day and I post Royal Mail first class large letter or Tracked 24 Small package. I can generally post every day except Sundays and bank holidays.
I post from my local post-office which is very reliable and it is very rare for my packages to go missing. They are very clearly labelled and also have my return address on the outside. I copy / paste the address you supply to make sure I don’t accidentally change it and the only change I do make is to auto change post codes to Upper Case where necessary.

My glass is always very securely packaged to try allow for posties playing football with them at the sorting office so they are well padded out inside and I use tape round the outside, where appropriate, to provide extra bouncability. I recycle packaging wherever possible.

I use some rather innovative (!) boxes for packing my smaller pieces of glass. Takeaway / microwave lidded boxes which are incredibly useful as they are air-tight so great for my storage of finished pieces and see-through so I can tell what is inside.
They also, with the addition of a small amount of bubblewrap, provide a very good protective cocoon for the glass in the post.
And an added advantage is that you can reuse the box once you have removed the glass !

Larger pieces which don't fit into my boxes are sent in see-through popper envelopes and are very well padded with bubble, cardboard and bouncy tape.

I always include a suction hook with each piece. These are as strong as I can find but it is a good idea to reseal to the glass every week or so by pressing firmly in the centre. Heavier pieces are safer hung from a permanently located hook. My glass pieces are as strong as I can make them and I do give consideration always to strength when putting them together but they are made of glass and prefer not to be dropped onto a hard floor.

Most of my packages do not go through the letter box as it is impossible to get them flat enough while protecting with enough padding. If your package has not arrived a couple of days after posting please check to see if it has been left in a secure place somewhere or check with your postie. The only packages I send by large letter post in PIP boxes to go through the letter box are pieces of jewellery and small fused pieces. I do not consider the depth of the boxes, maximum 2.5cm, adequate for the padding needed to post any other pieces of my glass safely.

I post lower priced individual items standard first class but more expensive items and orders for more than one piece may need to be sent signed for first class to allow cover from Royal Mail in the unlikely event of a problem. The system should charge you the correct postage to allow for that. If it charges you too little then my mistake, my loss. If too much then I will refund you the excess.

OVERSEAS ORDERS

Yes please. I love to send my glass to a new home and will happily post anywhere that someone wants it. I do however tend to only set up overseas shipping rates when requested so if you try to order and at checkout it will not allow shipping to the country you need please contact me, let me know what it is you are trying to order and I will quickly flick a magic switch to set the correct price and allow the overseas postage to go through.

Postage Refund

I have attempted to set up my postal costs so they calculate an accurate total price even if you order more than one piece. If I find it has overcharged you then I will refund you any postal overcharge.
