Decorating the Christmas tree is one of the most fun and exciting Christmas traditions. Many people look forward to it each year, and it’s a tradition that families and friends do together to ring in the holiday spirit! When it comes to decorating, there are several options and ideas to choose from, which can be overwhelming! Luckily, we have highlighted some of the most popular and common Christmas tree decorations for you to learn more about below!
We are starting our list strong with Christmas tree toppers! For those unaware, these decorations sit at the top of Christmas trees and are usually the last decorations to be placed. They arrive in various designs and colors, such as stars, angels, snowflakes, bouquets, and so much more! Christmas tree toppers are the final and arguably the most elegant tree decorations during the holiday season.
Christmas tree ornaments are a holiday classic that comes in a limitless variety of shapes, colors, designs, patterns, and figures. The best part of ornaments is that they are reused yearly and hold sentimental value to families, especially from long Christmases ago. The most ordinary and common ornaments are circular, made from glass, metal, or plastic, and usually feature holiday colors like red, green, white, and gold. You can never have too many ornaments on your Christmas tree!
Ribbons are an excellent way to add texture and more eye candy to your Christmas tree! They provide a luxurious touch featuring extravagant designs and colors to elevate your tree’s elegance. When attaching ribbons to your tree, begin at the top and let them flow down gently. Ribbons are also super versatile, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles and techniques to make them pop!
Christmas garlands comprise festive strands of materials such as tinsel, beads, and ribbons hung around a Christmas tree. Fun fact! Traditional Christmas trees usually include tinsel and bead garlands, whereas modern garlands include ribbons. Garlands are hung within a spiral pattern, starting at the top and working down. They can be secured with hooks or twist ties.
One of the last Christmas tree decorations added is the skirts, which cover the base of your tree! These decorations are decorative cloths that wrap around the base of your tree while covering lighting cords and the stand used to hold up the tree. They also help protect your floor or carpet from tree needles and sap!
