Frequently asked questions

How many ornaments do I need for my tree?

Roughly 20 ornaments per vertical foot for a balanced look. A 7-foot tree needs around 140 ornaments: sounds like a lot, but it's the difference between full and sparse on camera.

What are the best DIY ornament ideas?

Salt dough handprints, painted pinecones, monogrammed wooden discs, and cinnamon-stick stars are the top four: all under a dollar each in materials and lasting decades.

How do I store ornaments so they last?

Wrap each in acid-free tissue, separate by ornament type, and use rigid divided storage bins rather than cardboard. Keep boxes off concrete floors to prevent moisture damage.
