Christmas Tree Ornaments(1000+)

How many ornaments should I put on my Christmas tree?

You can put as few or as many ornaments on your tree as you like, but some decorators have set some guidelines that might be helpful. Most of them suggest between 10 and 20 ornaments per foot of tree. So, if you have a 7-foot tree, you might want to add 70 to 140 ornaments. Of course, other factors come into play, such as what size ornaments you have, what else you plan to add to your tree (like lights, garland, and beads), and if you prefer a busy or minimalist look.

Should I choose a theme for my Christmas tree?

Choosing a theme for your tree is a personal preference, but it can help elevate the look of your tree. One of the most common themes is a color scheme. From the traditional red and green to various shades of blue, you have unlimited options. You can also choose a certain seasonal theme, like Nativity, Santa Claus, angels, or snowmen. You can also choose a theme that just appeals to your unique interests, such as a favorite character, a beach theme, or a sports team.

How can I make Christmas ornaments safe when I have toddlers in the house?

Consider buying Christmas ornaments that aren't broken easily, such as ones made from cloth, plastic, wood, or other indestructible materials. You might also consider buying a tabletop tree, or a tree under 3 feet that you can place on a desk, table, or counter until your child is older. If that's not an option, hang your ornaments up high on your regular tree.
