Shatterproof Ornaments

Over the years ornaments have really grown into their own art like the Glass Pickle Ornament, there are beautiful hand crafted ornaments, glass that is hand painted or hand blown glass shaped into a variety of ornaments. While all of these can look exquisite, they all have one thing in common, they break! And not only do they break, they can explode, sending shards of glass into every corner of a room. With most adults it’s not a problem, but for anyone with young children you only have 2 options. Option 1, put a fence around the Christmas tree, while this does keep the children away from the tree it also has the effect of losing you the parent of the year award. Option 2 means leaving the nice, breakable ornaments in their protective boxes until the children are old enough to pay for broken items or have moved out of the house.

But now there is a third option. Shatterproof Ornaments have come a long ways. No longer are they merely a dull plastic bulb, now they come in hundreds of shapes and sizes and looks.  There are ones with glitter and classic glossy and snowmen and nutcrackers and even trains! Now you can show off the beautiful, the cute, and the exquisite ornaments for all to see and enjoy.

Now while Shatterproof means what it says in that the ornament won’t shatter or explode into a thousand pieces across your room, it does not mean unbreakable! Shatterproof ornaments are made of durable plastic. While some of the shatterproof ornaments might bounce and not break, this is more of an exception than the rule. As even if it didn’t break once time, it might break the next time it’s dropped. But if or when it does break, that’s all it does, it simply breaks and the pieces stay close at hand. Then the real family fun begins, seeing who can glue the pieces back together again with the least amount of line and glue showing.
