When it comes to Christmas baubles for outdoor use, it’s important to choose pieces that are durable and can withstand the weather and elements. Here are some of the best types of outdoor-safe baubles:
Shatterproof Baubles
Shatterproof baubles are made from sturdy and durable materials such as plastic and acrylic. Compared to traditional glass baubles, these outdoor tree baubles are less likely to break or shatter from accidental impacts. They’re also weather-resistant and can withstand certain elements like snow or rain.
Metal Baubles
Metal baubles made from brass, copper, or galvanized steel can be weather and rust-resistant, making them great choices as outdoor baubles for trees. You can also use a UV-protectant spray to protect and keep them in good condition longer.
Wood Baubles
Plywood, birch, and walnut are some of the types of wood that can be used to create baubles for outdoor trees. Cedar and redwood are also popular choices as they’re naturally rot-resistant and can withstand outdoor elements. If you’re looking for unique Christmas baubles made from wood, try shopping at craft fairs and specialty stores.
Felt Baubles
Felt Christmas baubles are soft and lightweight, making them easy to hang on branches. They’re also water-resistant, which makes them a practical option for decorating your outdoor trees. You can find bauble sets available in a wide range of styles – from classic Christmas characters to fun, playful designs.
Solar-Powered Baubles
Solar-powered baubles are a great way to decorate and illuminate your outdoor Christmas trees. Use a combination of string lights, light-up figurines, and mini lanterns to add a festive glow to your outdoor décor.
