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 3: On the new page click on “Customize This Design”
Step 4: This will open up our design tool where you can customize to your heart’s content with pictures, text, and more

If you want a great-looking Christmas tree then follow our top tips for arranging your ornaments:

  1. Add Christmas lights & ribbon to your tree first, draping them around your tree
  2. Hanging your ornaments in the following order to reduce the chance of your Christmas tree tipping order:
    1. Hang your large ornaments first
    2. Hang smaller ornaments in between your large ornaments
    3. Add the ornament that goes on top of a tree, which is called a tree topper last
  3. Look at the whole tree and improve where necessary

Make sure to follow our advice if you want to make sure your ornaments are protected in storage so you don’t have to worry about replacing them the following holiday season.

  • Group similar ornaments - ornaments that have similar size and theme should be put away together in the same box or container
  • Don’t skimp on containers - use ornament-specific packaging boxes and materials to minimize or prevent damage. You can buy boxes or even DIY your own
  • Wrap ornaments - you can use tissue or bubble wrap to wrap your ornaments to provide additional protection to your ornaments during storage
  • Proper storage - don’t store in extreme climates such as hot or cold temperatures and avoid moisture. Instead, put your ornaments in an area that is not only dry, but relatively cool such as a well ventilated basement or closet
  • Stacking your boxes - Put boxes with lighter, more fragile ornaments on top of boxes with sturdier ornaments

All of our ornaments come with ribbon, string, or metal rings so you can hang them as soon as they are received.

The number of Christmas ornaments you should have largely depends on the size of your tree, your personal style, and how full you want your tree to look. Here are the top things to consider:

  1. Tree Size
    • Small Tree (3-4 feet): Around 30-50 ornaments
    • Medium Tree (5-7 feet): About 70-100 ornaments
    • Large Tree (8-9 feet): Approximately 150-200 ornaments
    • Extra Large Tree (10+ feet): 250 or more ornaments
  2. Ornament size - how big are the ornaments? Naturally, larger ornaments take up more space so you might need fewer if you use more of them
  3. Style preference - if you like more minimalistic trees then you’ll need less but if you prefer a full & festive tree aim for the higher range we recommended
