Christmas baubles are some of the fun and versitile decorations you’ll find. It’s easy to get carried away when shopping for baubles, especially if you’ve accumulated them over time or bought them as souvenirs. If you’re anything like us, you probably have more baubles than your Christmas tree can fit.
Those Christmas baubles still deserve their moment in the spotlight! They’re the perfect way to sprinkle a little festive cheer through your house without investing in new decorations.
We’re sharing six creative ways to use Christmas ornaments around your home to get the most from your baubles.
1. Use Christmas Ornaments as Table Décor
Whether you’re hosting Christmas Day dinner or want to elevate your dining room, turn your baubles into table décor. This is one of our easiest Christmas decorating hacks. All you need is some lights, something to put your baubles into, and ornaments.
You can create a festive centrepiece by placing your ornaments inside a decorative vase, an acrylic tray, or a clear glass bowl. Choose baubles with a coordinating colour palette or theme and create a layered look by adding fairy lights or greenery.
You can add an extra touch to your Christmas table setting using baubles instead of name tags. If you have mini baubles, you can wrap them around your napkins with a piece of string, instead of using napkin rings.
2.Decorate Mantels and Shelves with Christmas Baubles
Your fireplace and mantel are likely the focal points of your living room, even if your Christmas tree is also in there. If you don’t want to invest in Christmas garlands, you can create a similar look by layering your baubles with fairy lights, candles, and greenery.
You can also get creative by hanging baubles off the edge of your mantel using adhesive hooks. This also works great for bookshelves or open shelving units, adding charm to a cosy nook. Group baubles to create themed displays or scatter them across shelves for a more organic feel.
3. Hang Christmas Ornaments in Unexpected Places
Baubles are more versatile than you might think and they’re perfect for adding to unexpected places. You give your Christmas décor a quirky twist by hanging your Christmas baubles from light fixtures or chandeliers in your hallway. Look for anywhere you can hang a bauble from, such as window frames and curtain rods. You’ll want to have strong adhesive hooks on hand to secure them safely in place.
4. Incorporate Small Ornaments in Gift Wrapping
If you want to elevate your gift wrapping and are thinking of downsizing your Christmas bauble collection, you can add them as a decoration to gifts instead of a traditional bow. Loop a ribbon or twine through the top of your bauble before securing it around your gift.
This tip is great for using up broken or extra baubles, and if you're a fan of DIY projects, you can even personalise baubles by painting initials or festive designs for an extra special keepsake.
5. Create Unique Wall Art & Christmas Wreaths
Christmas baubles aren’t just for trees. Use them to enhance other decorations like wreaths, adding a pop of colour and texture. Wire baubles into your wreaths to make them more personalised and fitting with your holiday theme.
If you’re a fan of wall art, you can incorporate baubles into frames and canvases for a unique piece of art that adds to your Christmas decorating. Create a shadow box with Christmas photos and cut your baubles in half before gluing them to your canvas to create a 3D artwork.
6. Add Christmas Ornaments to Outside or In Your Porch
If you want to decorate your outside area or porch without breaking the bank, use shatterproof baubles. They’re easy to hang from your porch ceiling or fence using adhesive hooks. If you’re worried about the weather or the risk of them falling down, place your baubles into an outdoor lantern or window box to create a festive display.
