Our advice Buying Guide

How do you secure a Christmas tree topper?

A tree topper is the most magical element of the Christmas tree, and to keep it secure all season long; you can use a few different materials. Chenille or pipe cleaner stems are two simple ways to attach your topper to the tree.

Retro tree toppers tend to be flashy and heavier than elegant, modern ones, so you’ll need something a bit more substantial to hold them in place. The best way to secure a heavy tree topper is to fold down the tree’s top point so that there’s something more stable for the star or angel ornament to sit on.

Once you’ve got the tree topper in position, grab some thin wire or twine and use it to fasten the ornament base to the tree for additional security. You can also purchase kits designed to help you secure the tree topper to the tree.

How big should a retro tree topper be?

Retro tree toppers can make a style statement on top of your Christmas tree, but toppers larger than 12-14” may have a hard time balancing on top. The weight of the material and the length of the base that holds it in place determines how big it should be.

Look for a tree topper that has a base at least 2” high, or even longer if you have pets or children that might bump into the tree. A lightweight metal tree topper can be 8” high or more without being a serious hazard if it falls. Heavier toppers, especially angel-shaped toppers, which are typically top-heavy, should only be 8” or more if they have a deep base inside.

Tree toppers that are too small may be unnoticeable. Ensure your tree topper is at least 4” high, especially if your tree is taller than 6’.
