Display Tips for Collectible Christmas Ornaments

Displaying your ornaments there is so many different ways to display your ornaments but I can give a few suggesting that I have heard off and different ways that people have told me that they have decorated with. The most common is the big 6-7 foot tree in your house during the holiday's which people decorate with but you can also find a variety of smaller trees is a feather tree. It is a goose feather tree and it is made in the 1940s with berries on the end and these can tend to be very pricey most where German but we made some in the US but most of these are German they range about $100 a foot. So I had 5 foot trees in here that are goose feathers and they range in about $500-$700. This is about 15-18 inches high and this one would cost about $150 so this is a great what to display those small feather tree ornaments that I have talked about before the baskets look wonderful on here along with the berries.

So this is one way to display your ornaments they also make a reproduction feather tree out there a number of different artist that you can find make these feather trees. In fact Martha Stewart puts out a feather tree to in white, in numbers of different colors, in green and pink so you can buy them they are not necessarily expensive either I think her trees a run about a $100 maybe about the same of the older trees somewhere in that range about $75-$50 a foot. But you can find here trees and there is a number of fake trees that you can buy to display your ornaments and trees are not the only way you can display. Lots of people would hang them in cabinets, just hang them from inside the cabinets from here. Look you can hang in a smaller could be more a proportional but you can hang your ornament. Some people choose to use bowls to display there ornaments, they put them on there tables or side tables, on there mantles you can hang them off of a mantle piece. There is just a large variety of ways to display you ornaments so those are a few suggesting for you if you want to be a little creative.
