This is the last post for Christmas in July!  I hope you’ve been enjoying the projects and found some that you’ll make this year.  Today I’m sharing my little aluminum Christmas tree from last year along with lots more ways to display vintage Shiny Brite ornaments.  If you need more Shiny Brite, you can find just about every style PLUS original boxes on Etsy.

If for some strange reason you can’t find Shiny Brite ornaments at your local thrift stores, you can find LOTS of them, many still in their original box, on Etsy.  And reproductions are still being made today.  Take a look at these I found on Amazon:


Thanks for reading my blog.  I’d love to hear how YOU display your Shiny Brite collection.  Leave a comment and let me know.  Thanks! Originally published July 29, 2016. We join these blog parties.

    I love how you put the loose bulbs at the base of the tree. I’ve often displayed extra bulbs in bowls and vases but this is so unique. Love all the others you shared too, especially the white tree,. One day I’ll have a white feather tree, maybe I should get busy making my own ????

    I only have a few that are actually Shiny Brite, but I have several glass balls of various colors & designs. I always choose a few to display on crystal candlesticks on the kitchen mantle. I put a string of white lights winding among the bases. The lights really make the crystal & the balls sparkle & shine! I also put some in glass bowls, or pretty Christmas sleighs. I really like the idea of using a white tree to really make the colors stand out!

    Question if I may? Is there a way to clean or shine antique bulbs without washing off hand painted designs? Is there any way to coat, dip or spray these bulbs to protect the outside surfaces?

      Karen, Thanks for the question. I’ve never tried cleaning them. Other than just wiping them off with a rag. I’ll have to look into that.

    Thanks for all the ideas about using the old Shine Brite glass ornaments. I have a large storage box full of the ones handed down in our family, some from my great-grandparents’ home. A few have been broken and I will definitely try stacking them in containers so that their good sides show and the damage is hidden.
