Christmas baubles, Christmas ornaments or "Christmas beads", "faux wood" or "articulated" Christmas flowers are festive decoration objects, generally for decorative purposes on Christmas trees. These ornaments are made using the following methods: blown, molded, woven or engraved from durable polystyrene or expanded polystyrene in a variety of shapes and colors. This article provides some information about these ornaments and their decorative qualities.
Blow dried ornaments are fragile items, with a tendency to break very easily. But if this is the last thing you want, these make excellent choices for a few Christmas tree accessories such as sprigs of evergreen in a vase or small group of flowers in a small clear vase. If you choose to blow dry your ornaments before use, look for those that are suitable for humid environments. You will also need to take into account any type of protective coating the ornaments may have been coated with. For example, glass ornaments should always be coated with an appropriate lacquer before use so that they do not crack or break.
Molded ornaments are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. These ornaments can either be purchased in bulk (which makes them perfect for gifts) or in smaller quantities purchased one at a time to embellish your Christmas tree. These ornaments are suitable for use on Christmas trees that already have bare branches.
Another alternative to blowing, drying and coating glass ornaments before use is to coat them with wool. Woolworth has a range of decorative felt items that are suitable for wrapping or covering small ornaments. They come in many different designs including snowflakes, star and heart shapes, and baubles with either a small or large bow.
Smaller items such as buttons, beads, pins, and coins make beautiful additions to Christmas baubles. For something a little more distinctive look for your Christmas ornament make your own with a felt covered needle and thread and finish it off with some fancy ribbon or cord. This way you can create any shape and size of the ornament you like.
There are a number of retailers on the web who offer a wide range of different pre lit christmas trees in various styles. You can also shop in person if you prefer but many people find it easier to purchase online. Christmas baubles add a personal touch to your Christmas tree ornaments.
