Description
This glass Christmas tree decoration takes the shape of an ice cream cone, a cheerful bauble that brings a little summer treat to the branches. A pink soft-serve swirl winds up from a golden waffle cone, each turn edged with tiny bead sprinkles in white, red, blue and green that pick up the glow of the tree lights. A silver-tone cap with a small loop sits at the top for hanging. It measures 20cm tall and 6cm across, a generous size that holds its own on a well-filled tree rather than disappearing among the branches.
We think it suits a playful, colourful Christmas tree best, sitting happily among candy-coloured and retro baubles, though it also brings a light-hearted touch to a more traditional scheme of red and gold. Hang it at eye level on an outer branch, where the sprinkles can be seen from across the room. Away from the tree, it looks just as cheerful hung from a garland along the mantelpiece, from a wreath or from a few bare twigs in a vase on a sideboard. As a Christmas gift it makes a fun little extra, tucked in with a card or added to a stocking.
The body is glass, with a waffle pattern across the cone and a soft sheen on the pink swirl, while the bead sprinkles give the upper half a raised, sugary texture. As with any glass bauble, choose a sturdy branch and hang it a little way in from the tips so it is not easily knocked. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the beaded bands, and when the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue paper and keep it in a box of its own so it is ready for the Christmases ahead. Hang it from a pink or gold ribbon for a sweet finishing touch.
