Supplies also sells a book on turning ornaments.

G'day Doug, Very nice. I'd never have thought of turning Xmas tree ornaments. regards John

I found other links but this "doc" had the best pictures and good step by step for inside out ornaments. I downloaded it and it didn't have any viruses but I know people don't like downloading docs.
