Description
This glass disco ball Christmas tree decoration brings a little party-night sparkle to the branches. It is a round ball covered all over in small square mirrored tiles, set in neat rows from top to bottom, so every turn sends flashes of silver across the room. It measures 15.2cm tall, 15.6cm wide and 15.3cm deep, a generous size that holds its own among smaller baubles rather than disappearing into the needles. The finish is pure silver mirror, which picks up the colours around it: hang it near fairy lights and you will see red, blue and green glints dancing in the tiles.
On the tree it works best where the lights can reach it, part way down and towards the front, so it catches both the tree lights and the glow of a lamp nearby. A ball this generous makes a cheerful focal point on a slim tree and adds a playful, disco-themed note to a fuller one. It is just as at home away from the tree, hung from a hook indoors by a window or above a party table, where daylight bounces off the mirrored surface and scatters small points of light over the walls and ceiling.
It hangs from a fine silver cord fixed at the top, so it is ready to go straight onto a branch or hook. Because the tiles are glass, handle it gently and keep it from knocking against anything hard. To keep the mirrors bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and store it wrapped in tissue when the decorations come down. We like it with silver and white baubles for a crisp, wintry look, or set against bright colours that the mirrors can bounce straight back.
