Hot Cody Foster Co. Jeweled Croissant Glass Ornament by Cody Foster

A croissant, rendered in glass, in the same warm brown as the real thing. Cody Foster builds this one as a jeweled version of the pastry case classic, and glass is what makes it read properly on a tree: it catches light the way a paper or resin piece never does, and it hangs with a little weight instead of spinning at the first draft. That puts it in a different class from the fabric croissant ornaments floating around every December. It is a natural for anyone who plans a trip around a bakery, and it slides easily into a collection of food ornaments next to the pizza, the pumpkin pie, and the cinnamon spice jar. Give it on its own as a small, exact gift, or start someone a glass Christmas ornaments collection with it. On a tree, put it toward the front where the brown glass has room to catch a bulb.

What are Christmas ornaments made of? Christmas ornaments are most commonly made from blown or molded glass, wood, resin, metal, fabric, or papier-mache, with glass remaining the traditional material for European-style tree ornaments. The material drives both weight and fragility, which is why glass and papier-mache pieces are handled and stored more carefully than resin or wood.
