Table decoration

Arrange christmas ornaments in the center of the table, around small LED lights or sprigs of conifers. You can use a decorative tray or runner as a base for this arrangement. If you're looking for a simple but effective solution, place a larger christmas ornament on each plate. This way you'll add a festive touch at each seating area. On the other hand, smaller christmas ornaments, will work well as part of a napkin decoration. Attach them with delicate ribbons.

On the wall

You can create a striking decoration by placing a branch on the wall and attaching different colored christmas ornaments to it. Use delicate transparent threads or thin ribbons. This will create a light, subtle decoration, ideal for those who want to avoid hanging christmas ornaments on the tree. Decorative ribbons will also work well for attaching baubles to the wall. In both cases, the key is the skillful selection of colors and patterns as well as proper placement. This will help you create a harmonious and attractive composition.

Compositions in dishes and boxes

Arrange christmas ornaments in a large shallow dish or decorative bowl. You can add a few spruce branches or LED candles to create a striking Christmas arrangement. A basket will also work great as a decoration base. Put more subdued christmas ornaments in it, for example, those in boho style. On the other hand, a glass dome will beautifully expose more decorative christmas ornaments. Choose one with gold elements to increase the effect.

Gift wrapping

Instead of a traditional bow, use a larger, christmas ornament. Attach it with a delicate ribbon. A christmas ornament can also replace a gift tag. Simply attach the ornament with the name of the recipient to the gift. You can also place a small christmas ornament inside the box. It will certainly be a pleasant surprise. Remember to place the ornaments in a way that will not make it difficult to open the gift, but at the same time will add a festive touch.

On a lamp

Attach the christmas ornaments to the lamp using transparent threads or colorful ribbons. You can hang one larger ornament or several smaller ones, creating an interesting decoration. If your lamp has a lampshade, you can delicately attach christmas ornaments to its exterior. This way you will create a striking decoration that will cast a shadow on the walls.
