Clear Glass Christmas Baubles - where to buy?

Elanor · 01/12/13 - 00:10

I have a craft project I want to do, and need to buy some clear glass Christmas tree baubles. I've looked in quite a few places but can't find any yet. I don't want them glittery or coloured or dipped in 'snow' or metallic or with photo frames inside or anything fancy, just plain glass baubles where I can take the fixing off and put something inside, and put the fixing back on again. I'd rather buy them in an actual shop if I can, because I want to start soon, but I suppose I may have to buy online.

Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere recently please?

Amazon

Funnily enough, I was looking for some recently for a craft project too!

I found someone on ebay selling them in big packs but just checked and she seems to be sold out

Is that a guess, or have you seen them there? I can't find any on there.

No it's not a guess.

I've seen that one - it's lovely, but doesn't have the removable fixing.

I'm looking for something like this, but in glass.

Ooh, that's nice! If I can't find anything in an actual shop I might have to get some of these, they have lots of different sizes. All the way from Sweden though! Thank you!

Sorry didn't notice that bit.

Pretty pricey Gogfumble aren't they.

Clear glass baubles are hard to come by so not surprised they are pricey. Although I don't think £3.99 for 6 of the 4cm is too bad.

You could try large garden centres Wyvale/nottcutts etc, they usually have good Christmas sections and might have them.

You can buy them empty or filled on ebay

MartinPickering · 01/12/13 - 00:57

How about www.glassblobbery.com in Wales?
I bet he can make them!

These are filled but you could take that out

I've not been there in ages, but how about Hobbycraft?

None in my local one.

I don't do Ebay, and I think the Welsh one would be a very pricey way of doing it. I will try some garden centres tomorrow I think, there are a couple of nice ones locally.

What about these, 24 x 8cm £22 (plus £4.95 delivery): http://www.christmastimeuk.com/display_details.php?category=&cat=1&code=021-24203&type=&brand=

Elanor · 15/12/13 - 22:11

I never did find any that were right - the Amazon ones had very expensive delivery, the Scandinavian ones had three week delivery, and so on. Then just after I gave up, I found two boxes of coloured glass baubles that I bought a few years ago but never use because they're boring! Result! I have spent most of this weekend doing this:

Gorgeous. Shame it's so late now. I'd have bought 3 dozen from you.

Thanks! And ooh! Maybe I can go into business next year!

[Deleted User] · 15/12/13 - 22:25

Well definitely you'd flog them at art and craft fairs.

LaceyLouelle3 · 15/12/13 - 22:29

Ohh they are lovely!

Gogfumble · 15/12/13 - 23:56

They are lovely! you could definitely sell them at Christmas craft fairs. Keep a look out in the sales for any suitable baubles you can use.

Elanor · 16/12/13 - 00:11

Thank you!

I'll definitely keep an eye out through the year for more, especially plain ones and shaped ones! If nothing else, I can give them as presents, although I have been thinking about craft fairs anyway, because I make nail varnish jewellery.

Love party hearty could do with a box of those
