What should be the top of the tree? We decorate the top of the Christmas tree by all the rules!

The main symbol of New Year's holidays is a decorated tree: spruce or pine. Green beauties dress up using a variety of toys. At New Year's fairs, you can buy special balls, icicles, garlands and tinsel. In many families, it is customary to make decorations with their own hands or to hang candy on a spruce in bright wrappers. An important decorative element is the top on the tree.

What are the decorations for the top of the Christmas tree?

One of the most popular variants of the tips for the New Year's Spruce is the five-pointed star. This element has been used since time immemorial as a biblical symbol. It would seem that the Star of Bethlehem should have disappeared from all the Christmas trees in the USSR. However, on the contrary, such a top on the tree was practically in any Soviet apartment. The thing is that the star is a special communistic symbol.

Another traditional decoration for the top of the spruce is the tip-peak, which often has a base in the form of a ball or cone and an elongated pointed tip. Today in Christmas tree decorations you can see quite unusual tops for Christmas trees. They can be made in the form of large bows or decorative figures. For example, the top of the Christmas tree "angel" or "Santa Claus cap" looks very interesting.

Choose the top for the tree

You can decorate a New Year tree in different styles. Classical involves a combination of two or four colors; Country - the use of jewelry created with their own hands from improvised materials; Eco-style is characterized by an abundance of natural materials in the decor. In our country, "Soviet vintage" is also popular-the decoration of a holiday tree with toys that have been inherited from mothers and grandmothers. Whatever option you choose, the most important is that the top of the tree is combined with other toys.

The simplest option is to buy a large set of jewelry, which already has a tip for the crown, and balls, and figures of other shapes. However, you can pick up a suitable tip in the department of New Year's toys, where all items are sold individually. The choice of form and design is a private matter for every customer. It is important that the tip for the crown harmonizes with at least one set of balls or figures.

And the lights are on!

Today many manufacturers offer their customers an original solution - a tip for a Christmas tree with a backlight. Such an ornament will not go unnoticed, especially in the twilight of New Year's Eve. If you plan to hang luminous garlands on the spruce, make sure that they are combined with the topmost decoration. The top on the tree with a backlight can be the only luminous element in your holiday composition. In this case, the choice of colors and glow style is completely free.
