A Christmas tree heralds a festive season marked by the joy of togetherness, sharing, caring, and giving. Crown this glorious spirit with a dazzling Christmas tree topper. These tips will help you choose the right one and to decorate your tree with elegance.
You may be familiar with these designs, but do you know their symbolism, and why are they chosen as Christmas tree toppers?
Star. It represents the Star of Bethlehem. It is symbolic of the cosmic forces that announced to the world the birth of Jesus in Jerusalem.
Finial. It symbolizes the zenith of love, dedication, and reverence to the Lord.
Angels. Since Jesus could not be everywhere, he designated angels to bless and guard his followers. Adorn them as Christmas tree topper to bring you good luck, health, and good fortune.
Fairies. They are the holy spirits of the Biblical lore who bestow their magical powers on believers when they are placed atop a Christmas tree.
Santa Clause. He comes down the chimney Christmas night and silently put gifts under the Christmas tree.
Cross. Placed atop a Christmas tree, it reminds believers of the supreme sacrifice of the Lord and exhorts them to follow his path.
The other types of Christmas tree toppers are rosettes, ribbon bows, wreaths, and sunbursts - all symbols of cheerful festive spirit.
Plastic flowers, buds, wreaths, and garlands to make assorted DIY toppers.
Additional tip: Use paper folding art such as Origami to DIY innovative topper shapes and forms for your Christmas tree topper.
Whichever topper you choose, it should match well with your Christmas tree and the festive décor. For instance, for a cotton-frosted Christmas tree, select a mellow, white-and-silver starburst topper. Conversely, if your décor and Christmas tree are vibrant and colorful, go for a multi-color shimmering star, or a fairy with a dazzling costume and a starburst crown. To each, their own. The idea is to sync the topper, the Christmas tree and the décor as a single, cheerful, festive aesthetic experience.
Personalization has been a big thing over the past few years. Here are some ideas how to personalize your tree topper:
A simple but unique idea is to arrange a festoon of tiny, flickering LED lights to spell your name or a short message. If you are Jane, arrange the LED garland to read "Jolly Jane"!
Decorate the Christmas tree from all sides, crown it with a 3D topper like a star or sunburst, and revolve its base with a slow RPM (revolutions per minute) motor. 1 RPM will give a good view of your tree and it's also easy on the eyes.
Have Santa Clause as your topper and personalize his face with your Santa-selfie!
Buy or make an artificial rose wreath topper and paste your family photo in the middle. You can use it later as your personal memorabilia.
Sing a Christmas Carole and play its audio from a speaker concealed in the topper.
