Popular Unusual Christmas 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

Typically you want to hang big ornaments first closer to the center of the tree. This way, they will impact the tree less with their weight than if they were on the edge and it also makes them less likely to fall off.
After your bigger ornaments are on the tree it is easier to fill in the gaps with smaller ornaments. Smaller ornaments can also go on the edge of trees more safely as they weigh less and are less likely to tip the tree and fall off.
