San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 5, 2007 -- As a first time ornament designer Darlene Tenes' premier glass creations got off to a quick start when the 2007 Latin GRAMMY Awards called and asked for them to be featured in their official celebrity gift baskets and have since received much press because of their fun and festive designs. As the phone began ringing, people were also calling the professional event planner for decorating ideas.

"We found that when people purchase our unique ornament designs they want to show them off," says Darlene Tenes, CasaQ founder, "so we decided to compile a list of creative ways to display ornaments besides placing them on a tree."

Here is a list of fun ways to decorate and show off your special treasures:

Top Ten Decorating Ideas for Ornaments

1) Get into the Christmas spirit while running your holiday errands by hanging an ornament from your car's rearview mirror.

2) Add ornaments to your evergreen wreath or forget the greens to make a wreath entirely of ornaments.
