When choosing tree toppers for Christmas, go through the following steps to ensure you find the right match for your display: Your tree topper should complement the overall theme of your Christmas tree decorations.

Meanwhile, contemporary and modern decorating themes usually look best with toppers with sleek designs.

Angel tree toppers are elegant figurines dressed in richly coloured robes made with luxurious materials. Their conical base typically fits the shape of treetops. Finial Christmas tree toppers are elongated decorations placed at the top of the tree. These pair well with contemporary-themed decorations.

Next, create another loop by pulling out more ribbon and creating kind of a figure 8, then pinch both loops together at their bases.

Christmas figure tree toppers feature well-loved characters like Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer as festive accents for your Christmas tree. It’s important to have enough space between the tip of your tree topper and the ceiling. To make sure you get the right size, first measure the distance between the top of your tree and the ceiling. Subtract six inches from that measurement. The difference is the maximum height of the topper you should get. The size of your topper should also be proportional to that of your tree. If you have a standard-sized tree measuring up to 7.5 feet tall, opt for a small tree topper. On the other hand, a large topper is ideal for taller Christmas trees that make a statement. Go for a star, angel, or bow topper for full-shaped trees and complement slim trees with elegant toppers.
