Learn more about ordering new driver ornament from Zazzle. Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions we receive about ornaments.

The most popular materials for Christmas ornaments here at Zazzle are paper, glass, wood, plastic, metal, ceramic, and acrylic. However, ornaments can really be made with anything you want as there is no strict rule or standard.

One of the best things about ornaments is that you can hang whatever is important and meaningful to you!

Our ornaments are typically between 2-4 inches in size, depending on which of our 20+ ornaments you get. Regardless, they’re fairly small in nature and can fit just about anywhere.
These ornaments are perfect to be used in conjunction with large ornaments to create a beautiful and balanced tree!

You can customize any ornament by simply following these steps:

  1. Visit the design you want to customize
  2. Select “Personalize” where you may be prompted to update name, year, and more information. Some will have an additional option to select “Edit using Design Tool” for even further customization
  3. Customize to your heart’s content by adding your own pictures, images, quotes, text, and more

Our most popular designs for ornaments include:

  • Photo-focused ornaments: Great for family and friends or for Christmas trees at home. We have a huge variety and you can easily find a number of photo ornaments
  • Life events: Great to commemorate a special life event such as a marriage, baby, or even to remember someone special who has passed
  • Business/logo ornaments: For Christmas trees at companies or to celebrate someone’s business

Step 1: Go to "https://www.zazzle.com/custom/ornaments"
Step 2: Select a product you want to add customize and click on it to get to a new page

Step 4: This will open up our design tool where you can customize to your heart’s content with pictures, text, and more

To properly clean your ornament make sure you clean depending on the material of your ornament. Here are the best ways to clean different kinds of ornaments:
Glass, Plastic, and Ceramic Ornaments: Use a microfiber cloth to dust off the ornament and then clean with gentle soap and warm water
Wooden ornaments: Follow the same instructions as glass, plastic, and ceramic ornaments. Do not get them too wet and do not let them soak in water
Fabric or cloth ornaments: Use a lint roller to get rid of dust or use a damp cloth to get rid of stains or smudges if necessary

There are two reasons to hang big ornaments before small ornaments:
First, place them more towards the center of the tree to better stabilize the tree. They will make the tree less likely to tip over or be affected by the weight of ornaments.
Second, it’s easier to place big ornaments first, and then place small ornaments after to fill in the gaps.

How many you buy depends on a few things - how many you already have, your tree size, and decoration preference.

Size:
For small trees (3-4 feet) you should aim to have a total of 30-50 ornaments.
For medium trees of 5-7 feet you’ll want to aim for 70-100 ornaments.
For large trees of 8-9 feet You can aim for 150-200 ornaments.
Trees of 10 feet or more likely want at least 200 ornaments.
Decoration preference:
How many you want with our given range depends on how full you like your tree to be. If you prefer fuller trees then you’ll want more, but if you like more sparse decorations then aim for the lower range.
