The Tiny Temple Collection - "Saratoga Springs" temple design.

We love creating intricate, miniature temple designs!

These elegant ornaments are made by carefully assembling 14 layers of lasercut paper to create a detailed, three-dimensional look. We use the laser cutter to etch fine details (such as windows or pillars) onto the temple. We strive to capture the unique architectural beauty inherent in each temple design.

The layered temples are then set in an antique bronze metal bezel. Finally, they're encased with solid glass cabochons on either side. The result is that the temple appears to float in a solid sphere of glass.

All of our ornaments are made with thick, 180 lb artist’s grade paper that won’t yellow or fade. We use only the best craft glass we can find.

Ornaments come with a light green ribbon. They ship in a slate gray jewelry box ready for gift giving.

All of our ornaments are hand-made by our family. Our littlest ones help clean the glass, and put stickers on the boxes. (Sorry if it's crooked!) Older children help assemble the paper layers, while mom and dad glue the glass. (Oh, and then the kids clean the ornaments to make sure they’re ready to go!)

These ornaments are thoughtful and meaningful gifts that capture the beauty of temples. They’re a great choice for a variety of occasions – for newlyweds, for missionaries heading out to serve, for anniversaries, or as a Christmas neighbor gift.

Ornaments are 1.5 inches in diameter, and about ¾ inches thick. Because ornaments are made of solid metal and glass, they are quite heavy. Each weighs about 2 ounces.

We have more temple designs in our Etsy shop. We also have other unique temple-themed wall hangings and desktop decorations. Please check it out for more beautiful designs!
