Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments – Gold 3 Inch Ball Set, 20 Pieces
Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments – Gold 3 Inch Ball Set, 20 Pieces
Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments in Gold
These shatterproof Christmas ornaments are a set of 20 gold balls, each 3 inches (about 7.6 cm) across. They are made of plastic, so they will not break into sharp pieces if a child, cat or dog knocks one off the tree. Easy Life Markets sells them in a reusable storage tube.
Gold balls are the backbone of most tree designs. They fill the gaps, bounce light from your tree lights, and go with almost any other colour you add.

How Many Do You Need?
A rough guide for 3 inch balls on a full tree:
| Tree height | Approx. ornaments | Sets of 20 |
|---|---|---|
| 4 to 5 ft | 30 to 40 | 2 |
| 6 ft | 40 to 60 | 2 to 3 |
| 7.5 ft | 60 to 80 | 3 to 4 |
| 9 ft | 80 to 100+ | 4 to 5 |
Use more if gold balls are your main decoration, fewer if you are mixing in other ornaments. This is our own rule of thumb, not a supplier figure.
Decorating Tips
- Hang some balls deep inside the branches near the trunk. This adds depth and hides gaps.
- Put the rest on the outer tips, spaced evenly.
- Shatterproof Christmas ornaments are the right choice for the lowest branches if you have pets or toddlers.
- Gold looks especially rich on a black Christmas tree and soft on a white flocked tree.
- Pair with navy, red, green or white accents.
Ornaments have a long history; this article on the Christmas ornament covers where the tradition started.
Beyond the Tree
Pile a few in a glass bowl or lantern, tuck them into a mantel garland, or hang them from a ribbon in a window. Because they are plastic, they are safe to use in table centrepieces too.
Who They Suit
Families with young children or pets, first-time tree owners building a collection, and anyone who wants a gold base to build on. Pair these shatterproof Christmas ornaments with the navy honeycomb paper ornaments and a star tree topper. Choose your tree from the 6ft flocked Christmas tree or the 9ft Christmas tree.

Common Questions
Are these shatterproof Christmas ornaments really unbreakable? They are plastic, so they will not shatter like glass. Like any plastic, they can still dent or scuff if stepped on.
Do they come with hooks? Hooks are not listed. Most ornament hooks or ribbon will work.
Are they matte or shiny? The finish is not stated; check the photos.
