Felt, Beaded and Cotton Decorations
It's the little details that give a Christmas tree its character. Felt decorations bring a soft, tactile finish, with carefully worked stitching and playful shapes adding warmth among the branches. Beaded ornaments catch the light with every glimmering detail, bringing texture and a little sparkle to the tree. Cotton decorations offer another layer of softness, with fabric finishes and decorative stitching adding a more relaxed feel. From the hanging loops to the smallest finishing touches, each Christmas ornament brings something different to the mix.
Finishing the Tree With a Topper
The finishing touch deserves a little attention of its own. A Christmas tree topper draws the eye upwards, bringing the colours and decorations below together in one final flourish. Consider the height and fullness of your tree when choosing a topper, allowing enough room for it to sit comfortably without overwhelming the branches. Our felt tree toppers feature a cone-shaped base designed to sit over the top of the tree, so check that the upper branch offers enough support to keep everything securely in place. Pair your decorated tree with one of our advent calendars to bring a little extra anticipation to the festive countdown.
Building a Tree That Looks Collected
The best Christmas trees tell a story rather than follow a formula. Start with a few favourite Christmas baubles, then layer in ornaments of different shapes, sizes and colours for a look that feels gathered over time. Place heavier decorations on sturdier lower branches, leaving breathing room between pieces so every little detail gets its moment. A playful shape here, an unexpected colour there, and suddenly the whole tree feels distinctly yours. Carry that collected feeling beyond the branches with colourful Christmas stockings and Santa sacks, or bring festive character to another corner of the home with Christmas wreaths and bunting. Matching everything? Where's the fun in that?
Storing Decorations So They Last
A little care when packing away your Christmas decorations makes all the difference next December. Wrap ornaments individually in tissue paper or soft fabric, keeping delicate beading, stitching and decorative finishes from catching against one another. Store heavier pieces separately from softer felt and cotton decorations to avoid crushing their shape, and keep everything somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. Before hanging them again, check the loops and stitching for any signs of wear. These are the little Christmas treasures worth bringing out year after year.
