Set of 6 Glass Icicle Hanging Christmas Tree Decorations - Clear

This set of six glass icicle Christmas tree decorations brings the look of a frosty morning to the branches, without a drop of meltwater. Each icicle is made from clear glass, swelling gently through the middle and tapering to a fine point at the base, much as a real icicle forms. The set mixes three patterns, two of each: a twisted, faceted icicle that breaks the light into small flashes, a smooth one with a fine line of silver glitter running down its length, and a third wound with spiralling glitter lines. Each one is about 19cm long and 1.4cm across at its widest, so they hang slim and long among the baubles.

These icicles belong on the Christmas tree, where their length adds a sense of movement between round baubles, and a small loop at the top of each one makes hanging simple. Because clear glass takes on the colours around it, they suit almost any scheme, from a traditional red and gold tree to a crisp silver one. Six is enough to dot evenly around a modest tree, or to gather together as a frosty cluster close to the fairy lights. They also look lovely along a garland on the mantelpiece, hung in a window, or from bare branches in a tall vase on the hall table.

Every icicle is formed from glass, smooth on the striped and spiral designs and gently ridged on the twisted one. Glass is delicate, so hang each piece from a sturdy branch where it will not knock against its neighbours. To care for them, simply dust with a soft dry cloth. When the decorations come down, wrap each icicle in tissue paper and store the set flat in a box until the next festive season. We think they make a thoughtful Christmas gift, and a quiet, wintry finishing touch for your own tree.

How long is each glass icicle?

Each icicle is about 19cm long and 1.4cm across at its widest point, tapering to a fine tip at the base.

How many icicles come in the set, and are they all the same?

The set holds six glass icicles in three patterns, two of each: twisted and faceted, smooth with a glitter stripe, and wound with glitter spirals.

What are these icicle decorations made of?

They are made from clear glass, with fine silver glitter detail on the striped and spiral designs, so they catch the light on the branches.

How do the icicles hang on the tree?

Each icicle has a small loop at the top, so it hangs straight down from a branch on a hook, a thread or a short length of ribbon.

Will clear icicles suit my tree's colour scheme?

Clear glass picks up the colours around it, so these icicles sit comfortably on a silver, gold, red or natural themed Christmas tree.

How should I look after glass icicles?

Dust them with a soft dry cloth, handle them gently as glass is delicate, and wrap each one in tissue paper before storing it away.
