What Size of Baubles Are Available?

Baubles are available in a variety of sizes, from smaller tree baubles for more delicate decorating to larger statement oversized baubles designed to add impact. The right size will depend on the size and shape of your Christmas tree, as well as the style of display you want to create.

Smaller baubles are ideal for filling gaps, decorating branch tips and adding detail to slim, pencil or small Christmas trees. Standard-sized baubles work well across most trees and are a practical choice for building a balanced festive look. Larger baubles can be placed deeper into the branches to add depth or used on bigger trees where smaller decorations may not stand out as clearly.

Which Baubles Are Best for Large Christmas Trees?

For large Christmas trees, a mix of medium and large baubles usually works best. Larger baubles help fill the tree and create visual impact, while smaller decorations can be layered towards the outer branches for detail and balance.

If you are decorating a full or extra-wide Christmas tree, try placing larger baubles deeper into the branches first. This helps create depth and prevents the tree from looking flat. You can then add glass Christmas baubles, shatterproof baubles, ribbons, bows and other finishing touches to complete the look.

The Benefits of Shatterproof Baubles

Shatterproof baubles are a practical choice for busy homes, especially where decorations are handled often or stored away each year. They offer the festive look of traditional baubles with added durability, making them ideal for family homes, homes with pets or anyone who wants decorations that are easier to care for.

Shatterproof baubles are:

• Less likely to break if dropped during decorating.
• A safer option around children and pets compared with fragile glass baubles.
• Easier to pack, unpack and store year after year.
• Appealing in a variety of available decorative styles including matt, gloss and glitter.

How to Decorate a Christmas Tree with Mixed Baubles

Decorating with mixed baubles is a great way to create a fuller, more considered Christmas tree. Start by choosing a colour palette, then build your display using different sizes, finishes and texture within that theme.

For instance, you could consider a traditional Christmas look comprised of gold, green and red baubles. For a more layered finish, combine matt, glass and glitter baubles across the branches. Matt baubles help soften the overall look, gloss baubles reflect the tree lights and glitter baubles add sparkle and contrast. Glass Christmas tree baubles can be used as special feature pieces. Shatterproof baubles are ideal for building out the main display.

When placing mixed baubles, start with larger decorations deeper in the tree, then add standard and smaller baubles towards the outer branches. This helps create depth and makes the tree feel full without overcrowding the tips.
