Vol-055 Mistletoe Berry Cane & Leaf Ornament Christmas Glass Ball or Jewelry

Signing up for Cindy's program is the best decision you can make. Her tutes are well researched, well taught, and provide wonderful results. Treat yourself to this tutorial. Better yet, treat yourself to the whole catalog of tutes. The tips she provides in them are great.

I made a Mistletoe wine glass... it looks really cool with red wine in it. The great thing about Cindy's tutes is that you can transfer those projects to other objects. I am making the Mistletoe ball to hang on the center of the dining room light.

I am finding your tutorials helpful. I've dabbled in polymer for a few months now - just figuring things out on my own. Very often when watching your videos, I find myself going Ahhhh (as in eureka!) that makes sense. Really enjoying them.

~Wendy-H

Hi Wendy and Welcome!! I too have had a lot of those Ah Ha! moments here with Cindy and that's after... thinking... counting... WOW 15 years or so of claying! :) - again welcome to the best thought out tutorials at the best price anywhere.

~Sherry-L

Beautiful Cindy, you have done it again! Marvelous... I am off to the craft room to get started. Neat fun!

~Sandra-J

My dear polymer clay tutor Cindy Lietz, I am so happy with your tutorials! Thank you for always teaching us beautiful things. Hugs and Kisses from Mexico to you and your beautiful family.

~Marcela-S

Your ingenuity is amazing! Last year I covered glass balls with roses and vines, but didn't think to connect them. I used white glue which will dissolve after baking with water, and I would never have found a way to hang the ornament in the oven. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us.

~Freda-K

I love making glass ball ornaments. This is a sure winner. The anti bad spirit bracelet seems like a good idea, too :)

~Andrea-P

I never knew the plain clear balls had a coating. A few years ago I tried to cover the entire glass ball and it ended up crushing as I pushed too hard while smoothing the clay. The great thing about covered glass balls is you can make them for any occasion.

~Anna-S

Who Knew!? This video was an eye opener! I didn't know about the coating on the ornament... of course that would make a BIG difference. Thanks so much for this info.

~Patt-W

I had fun with this tutorial. I got some of the mini-glass ornaments from Joann’s… they didn’t have the coating on them, BTW. I can’t get over how well a texture plate made from Styrofoam works! Cindy you are a smarty pants!

~Lena-S

Stayed up to watch the tutorial... I loved it! The berries and leaves look so real. Thanks Cindy!

~Cherie-H

Thank You so much. I have 30 ornaments to make for gifts! This is my second time making glass ornaments... and with your excellent tutorial I'm certain this time they will turn out great! I didn't know there was a plastic coating on them before. Thank You for sharing.

~Denise-O

Fantastic mistletoe project! I think this technique would work for ivy also!

~Tammie-A

I am so glad I’m part of your family of clayers. Love your gorgeous Mistletoe video series, this will be an ideal gift for family and friends! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive set of videos, so typical of our Cindy! Thanks again Cindy and Doug for a fantastic website.

~Marion-R

Once again you have saved the day... I also just purchased some glass ornaments and have covered them with polymer clay. Thank goodness I saw this first! You saved me a lot of headaches! Thanks again so much for all you continue to do for us every day. Many Hugs.

~Peggy-B

Cindy, Thank you for the excellent video on glass ball ornaments. I can see now that it could smash and cause injury if not done carefully. I always like your way of giving information in a way that is very comprehensive and never condescending. Excellent information.

~Joy-C

Great video, everyone should view it at least twice (glass deserves respect). It can be very strong or as fragile as eggshells, and the glass used to make these ornaments is pretty thin so treat it gently. Loved the bracelet and earrings using the mistletoe leaves and berries, so realistic.

~Elaine-F

Wow, Cindy this is a fantastic series! I loved the Styrofoam tip, then when I saw where you were going with the oven rack I said out loud... 'oh my gosh she's going to hang those right on the rack!!!!!!' Totally impressive, I love it! Thank you.

~Michelle-A

Thank you so much for your always helpful, clear and concise explanations!!! Cindy, I just think that you are the "Bomb" I'm so thrilled to be part of your Great Group! =)

~Deby-P

This is such an informative video Cindy and your tips are really great. I have never tried a glass ball ornament before. Your enthusiasm to put yourself out there and help us prevent making so many mistakes is just wonderful. I know that if we hear if from Cindy first, it's got to be right!

~DixieAnn-S

Wonderful timing Cindy :) Just picked up some clear glass balls last week… oh my, is Cindy's mind reading catching or what? LOL. Thanks for the heads up.

~Sherry-L

Thanks for the info on glass ornaments, I had a bad experience with glass ornaments a couple of years ago (one broke in my hand while putting the clay on) so have never tried working with them again. Armed with your good info and the most recent tute, I will give it another try.

~Lawrence-S

Cindy’s Polymer Clay Tutor site is well worth your time and money. She has made the mistakes so YOU don’t have to!!!

~Patt-W

Thank you for all the beautiful videos. I am very happy and I always learn new things.

~Carmen-V

Cindy, no need to convince me that you offer the best videos for polymer clay. Thank you for keeping your costs low (maybe too low?)

~Catherine-R

I just love your site. You make polymer clay easy. This is my second attempt at it, and your customer support is awesome! I will definitely recommend it to anyone!

~Tammie-A

Watched all the lesson videos in this tutorial. There is a special place in heaven for you, Cindy Lietz!

~Anna-S

Now that was an amazing video loaded with good information. Explains why the few pieces I had tried previously, ended up in ruins, too, LOL! Fortunately I kept them for home, I would have died of embarrassment if I had given them as gifts! Love that mistletoe!

~Jocelyn-C

Saved my heinie once again, Cindy. Indeed you are generous and conscientious and just a great person and artist! You are really so awesome in what you do. Thanks!

~Andrea-P

Wow! Great info about what happens when glass heats and cools too quickly. Free tutes out on the internet, are to be viewed very carefully. Cindy, I know you really want your students to succeed because it shows in your videos. Great tips and accurate information is always present. Keep up the fab job!!

~Catalina-L

Thanks Cindy, I had been wondering how to do glass ornaments with polymer clay. This is what we all love about you Cindy, you describe things from start to finish and you don't leave steps out. I really appreciate you being so thorough on all your tutorials.

~Patricia-R

Cindy, you are such a sweetie! I love it that your tutorials don't have an expiration date and next year or 10 years from now these mistletoe ornaments will still be awesome :) 

~Sherry-L

Mysterious Mistletoe, With berries greeny white, Clinging to the mighty Oak, In a grip so very tight -- A symbol of fertility, The bearer of Goodwill, And for a maid, the first real kiss, Should give her such a thrill.

~Elaine-F

I don't say it enough but thank you Cindy for coming into my life!!! I never knew what I could do until I signed up with you!!!
