Colleen–I give them an all-over with a sanding block to distress them a little and take off any burrs. If you are concerned do a trial one perhaps with rounded edges and see what you think. They aren’t as lethal as they look. I keep any questionable ornaments above kid-height on the tree.

Absolutely love these, but need to know: Do you do anything to the edges to make them less sharp? (thinking about grandkids wanting to touch them on the Christmas tree…)

cecilia wolfe–I trace the design, but you can draw it if you prefer. A ball point pen, especially one with no ink, is a good choice for marking.
