Disco Hot Air Balloon Christmas Tree Decoration 22cm - Silver

Our disco hot air balloon decoration brings a glitterball sparkle to the Christmas tree. Its rounded balloon is covered in small silver mirror-effect squares that catch every flicker of the fairy lights, and bands of glinting silver studs run down the seams between its panels. Beneath it sits a silver basket wrapped in a fringe of iridescent tinsel with a soft pastel shimmer, and a second little tinsel-trimmed basket dangles below on its own cord, so the whole piece sways and glints as the air moves. At 22cm it is a generous size for a tree decoration, easy to pick out from across the room.

Hang it high on the tree where the lights can play across it, or give it a spot of its own on a mantelpiece garland, a curtain pole, a wreath or a doorway hook, where the swinging basket has room to move. The silver finish sits happily in a frosty silver and white scheme, yet the disco styling and iridescent tinsel bring as much cheer to a bright, colourful tree. It is a natural choice for a Christmas party at home, and with its playful look it makes a cheerful little Christmas gift for anyone who likes their decorations with a bit of fun.

The decoration hangs from a fine cord at the top of the balloon, ready to loop over a branch or a hook. To keep the squares bright, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, taking care around the tinsel and the studded seams, and between seasons wrap it in tissue and store it in a box so the basket and its trim keep their shape. For the best effect, hang it close to a string of lights where it can catch the glow and turn slowly, and pair it with plain silver baubles so the balloon stays the star of the branch.
