First you need to reinforce the glass holder using the hot glue gun. Simply remove the cap, apply a dab of hot glue, quickly put the cap on and let it dry. This is not necessary with plastic balls because they are usually already firmly glued together.
When all the Christmas tree baubles are finishedWire hangerstake it, unscrew the hook at the top and bend the wire round. Thread the balls individually and push them close together.

A mini Christmas tree is sure to be an eye-catcher for the Christmas table or simply practical if you want to decorate a limited space for Christmas.

Remove the caps from the Christmas balls and insert the first row into the Styrofoam cone until the base of the cone is covered. Then take out the Christmas tree balls and attach them with hot glue. Work from bottom to top until the entire cone has been glued. Then glue the pearl garland into the gaps.

Create place card holders
A festively set table is an absolute must at Christmas! In order for the Christmas tree balls to stand well, they don't necessarily have to be flat at the bottom. With a few tricks you can achieve perfect stability of the balls!
The first option is to glue a small ring made of wood or plastic to the bottom of the ball. The second – make small blobs of hot glue on wax paper, let them dry and glue them in a circle to the bottom of the ball. Alternatively, you can simply place the balls in small bowls or plates so that they don't tip over.
Make mini vases with Christmas balls
If you remove the suspension of the balls, you can place a flower or small bouquet in the opening. Whether individually or in a group, these filled balls are charming eye-catchers for every Christmas table. If the balls are glued to small mirrors, their beautiful shine can be doubled.

If you don't have a Christmas tree, then you can consider this interesting alternative. You will need a vase with a thin neck, salt to fill it, a funnel, iron wire, wire cutters, needle nose pliers and of course Christmas tree balls.
