It was inspired by the tradition many households have of hiding a pickle in the Christmas tree for young ones to find. “The history of finding the pickle on the tree was rich with fun and good fortune, so we thought we would offer our guests the opportunity to be a part of having their hands make the one for their tree,” said Tatara Siegel, manager at Dallas Glass Art.
Ornaments can be purchased online, or you can make your own at the studio. Dallas Glass Art is also offering tiny snowmen and round- or teardrop-shaped ornaments created in the color of your choosing.
No matter your holiday aesthetic, there is an option for you. In addition to ornaments, the studio also creates vases, bowls, drinking glasses and other seasonal items.
