Description
This bauble decorative stick is a Christmas tree decoration built around one long, slender stem that branches out into fine sprays, each tipped with little round baubles. Most are a rich red, in a mix of glossy, pearly and glittered finishes, with a few faceted red beads among them, and a scattering of white pearl-finish and white glitter beads lifts the red so it reads clearly against green branches. The stems are a soft woodland brown, which keeps the look natural among real or artificial branches. It stands 72.5cm tall, measures 23cm across at its widest and is 5cm deep, leaving a good length of bare stem below the sprays to anchor it.
It is made for Christmas, and the tree is its natural home. Push the long stem down among the branches and let the sprays fan out, and it fills a gap with colour in a way a single hanging bauble cannot. Because it is only 5cm deep, it sits close to the tree rather than sticking out, while its 23cm spread is wide enough to catch the eye from across the room. Work it in high on the tree, or tuck it into a sparse patch near the base, and the red carries through a traditional scheme alongside plain red baubles, ribbon and white lights.
Each bauble sits on its own short stalk, and the mix of high gloss, soft pearl and fine glitter gives the sprays depth when the tree lights catch them. Treat it gently: dust it now and then with a soft, dry brush or cloth, and keep it away from damp. Between seasons, store it flat in a long box so the sprays keep their shape for the Christmases ahead. For a finishing touch, set it just off centre near the top of the tree, where the red and white beads make a bright frame for your star or topper.
