How to Blow Glass for Christmas Ornaments

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Tom Wright from Gingerbread Glass; on behalf of Expert Village. For this step; we're going to take our tube, and we're going to blow it out, so we can color on the inside of it. I'm going t take my tube, and I'm just going to get the very end of it hot. You want to try to get it as even as possible, but for this we can adjust it. You don't want to get it too hot, because it will take on a shape that you don't want, so you kind of want to keep it a little bit towards the end of the flame. It's starting to take a little bit of shape. We're about halfway; half an inch up there. It probably won't go much farther than an inch and a half. All right; we are about at the top. Now we're just really going to start to blow out the bottom. See how it's really big now? That's what we want, so we can fit our colors in there. There we go."
