The main symbol of the New Year holidays is a decorated tree: spruce or pine. Green beauty dress up using a wide variety of toys. At New Year's fairs, you can buy special balls, icicles, garlands and tinsel. In many families, it is customary to craft jewelry with their own hands or to hang candies in bright wrappers on the spruce. An important decorative element is the top of the tree.
What are the decorations for the top of the xmas tree?
One of the most popular tip options for the Christmas tree is a five-pointed star. This element has been used since time immemorial as a biblical symbol. It would seem that the Star of Bethlehem was supposed to disappear from all the Christmas trees in the USSR. However, on the contrary, such a tree top was in almost any Soviet apartment. The thing is that the star is also a special communist symbol.
Another traditional decoration for the top of the spruce is the peak tip, which often has a base in the form of a ball or cone and an elongated sharp tip. Today in the Christmas tree decoration shops you can see very unusual tops for Christmas trees. They can be made in the form of large bows or decorative figures. For example, the top on the Christmas tree “angel” or “cap of Santa Claus” looks very interesting.
Choose the top for the Christmas tree
You can dress up a New Year tree in various styles. Classic involves a combination of two or four colors; country - the use of jewelry made by hand from improvised materials; eco-style is characterized by an abundance of natural materials in the decor. In our country, “Soviet vintage” is also popular - festive tree decoration with toys inherited from mothers and grandmothers. Whichever option you choose, the most important thing is that the top of the tree is combined with other toys.
The easiest option is to purchase a large set of jewelry, in which there is already a tip for the crown, and balls, and figures of other shapes. However, you can choose a suitable top in the department of New Year's toys, where all items are sold individually. The choice of form and design is a personal matter for every customer. It is important that the tip for the crown is in harmony with at least one set of balls or figures.

Today, many manufacturers offer their customers an original solution - a tip for the Christmas tree with backlight. Such a decoration will definitely not go unnoticed, especially in the twilight of New Year's Eve. If you plan to hang luminous garlands on a spruce tree, make sure that they are combined with the topmost decoration. A highlighted Christmas tree top may be the only luminous element in your festive composition. In this case, the choice of colors and style of glow is completely free.
