This is How Christmas Tree Decorations Are Created

Take an inside-look at the intricate process of making holiday glass ornaments.

This video published on YouTube by the New York-based Corning Museum of Glass shows Museum Gaffer Eric Goldschmidt creating a blown, mirrored and glittered ornament using an authentic Lauscha ornament mold. The creation of glass Christmas ornaments has its origins in Lauscha, a German town founded by a pair of glassmaking families in the late 16th century.
