Glittered Christmas Tree & Present Ornament - Green & Red

This glittered Christmas tree and present ornament brings a cheerful little scene to a shelf or sideboard: a tiered green fir standing on a wrapped red gift. The branches are built up in layers of softly ruffled foliage, flecked all over with green glitter and wound with a fine gold garland from the top to the lowest tier. Tiny sprigs of holly with red berries and little gold pine cones sit tucked among the branches, and the present beneath is tied with a gold ribbon that finishes in a full bow on one side. It stands 18cm tall, 9cm wide and 4.5cm deep, a compact size that settles easily among other decorations without crowding them.

Because it stands on its own present base, it needs no hook, branch or wall: set it on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a hall table or a desk and it brings a festive note wherever you place it. Its slim depth suits narrow spots such as a bookshelf ledge or the gap beside a clock, and it makes a sweet focal point for a small table setting at Christmas. We think it also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a traditional green and red look, popped into a stocking or set beside a card.

The gold detailing on the garland, sprigs and ribbon gives the green and red real depth, and the glitter catches the light from a lamp or a lit tree nearby. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the glittered branches, and keep it away from damp. When the decorations come down in January, wrap it in tissue and store it somewhere dry, ready to bring out again next December. For a fuller scene, tuck a sprig of real greenery or a few pine cones beside it.
