Step 4Hang it up!
Hang it using whatever method you prefer...a piece of fishing line, a paper clip, a loop of thin wire, duct tape, I don't care.
This is where the lintless rag comes in. Carefully polish both sides of the glass, and handle it by the edges to keep your grimy hands off the pretty parts. When I hang these on the tree, I might even wear latex gloves.
Aim to get it somewhere with lots of lights for maximum reflective power. This would be really cool using a string like my late grandmother always used, which had tiny gearmotors in the line that would spin ornaments hung from it. I can't find them online anywhere, though, and we only have the one string. EDIT: half an hour after publishing this, I discovered at least one place you can get them. I'd forgotten that they actually just plugged into the light sockets.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever your politically correct greeting is, and WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES!
