Description
This is a set of three round Christmas decorations. Each is a ball 8cm across, wrapped in fine thread and marked with red stripes that run from the cap down to the base, alternating with paler bands. The thread is laid in close, even lines, so the surface has a soft sheen and a gentle texture rather than the hard shine of a glass bauble. Each one carries a small beaded cap at the top with a thin metallic loop attached for hanging, and the three are alike, so they read as a matched trio.
At 8cm across, they are a good size for a full Christmas tree: large enough to be seen from across the room, small enough to sit among the branches without crowding them. We like them spaced through the middle of the tree as a group, or hung singly in a window from a hook in the frame. They also suit a few bare twigs or a sprig of greenery stood in a jug on a windowsill or sideboard, where the red stripes give a simple arrangement a festive lift. A trio makes a cheerful small gift for anyone dressing their first tree.
The composition is 85% ethylene vinyl acetate, 10% polyester and 5% iron, and the maker describes the finish as a foam ball covered with thread. The listed weight is 0.08KG, so these are light decorations that suit slimmer branches as well as sturdy ones. Because the surface is wound thread rather than glass, we would hang them and take them down by the loop, and pack them away where they will not be squashed between seasons. For styling, pair them with plain red decorations, wooden ornaments and fresh greenery so the stripes stay the focus. The styling props shown are not included.
