Looking for fresh bauble decoration ideas to bring your festive décor to life this year? Whether you’re sprucing up the Christmas tree, jazzing up your walls, or diving into a fun craft project with friends, Christmas baubles offer endless opportunities to get creative.
From Christmas bauble decorating ideas for kids to Pinterest-worthy displays for grown-up spaces, we’ve rounded up our favourite ways to decorate with baubles around the house!
1. Fill clear baubles with festive sparkle
Clear baubles are among the most versatile Christmas decorations available. Just pop off the top and get stuffing!
Try filling them with:
-
Mini pinecones or cinnamon sticks
-
Faux snow or glitter
-
Ribbons, tinsel, or tiny bells
-
Handwritten notes or photos
This is an easy DIY craft project with lots of personal touch, and it’s a great activity to do with kids or friends over hot chocolate.

2. Buy a bauble wreath for your wall or door
Forget traditional greenery, bauble wreaths are bold, colourful, and guaranteed to make a statement.
Choose a colour scheme (think multicoloured, icy silver, or classic red and gold) and select a wreath that combines shapes, materials, and finishes to add texture and a festive style.
Whether you're hanging it on the front door or creating a focal point indoors, a bauble wreath is an easy way to add instant cheer.

3. Add baubles to garlands for your mantel or stairs
Looking for an effortless way to elevate your Christmas garlands? Just add baubles!
Drape your garland along a mantel, staircase, or doorway and weave in a mix of baubles to create extra sparkle and depth.
Want something even easier? Go for a pre-decorated garland to eliminate the guesswork from your festive styling.
4. Dress up your table with bauble centrepieces
Not all baubles belong on the Christmas tree. Toss a bunch into a decorative bowl or hurricane vase for an effortless table display.
Or cluster baubles down the centre of the table with candles, ribbon, and greenery to set a magical tone for dinner parties.
5. Tie baubles to the backs of chairs
Hosting Christmas dinner? Add a festive touch by tying a bauble (or two!) to each guest’s chair with ribbon. You can even attach name tags for a decorative place card alternative.
It’s a great way to add some sparkle without taking up valuable table space, and kids especially love it.
6. Hang baubles on a decorative branch
If your favourite Christmas baubles get lost on the tree, why not give them their own spotlight?
Place bare branches in a large vase, spray them with white or silver paint, and hang baubles at varying lengths. It’s a minimalist way to decorate a side table or shelf, and you can change it up year after year.
7. Add baubles to gift wrap
Tired of using the same old bows and tags? Add a Christmas bauble to your wrapped gifts for a bit of sparkle under the tree.
Mini baubles work especially well for this, and they double as a cute keepsake for the recipient.
8. Create wall art with baubles and ribbon
Short on space or skipping the tree this year? Try a bauble wall display instead. Use lengths of ribbon to hang baubles directly on the wall using removable hooks or adhesive strips.
Pick a theme (classic red, frosted sparkle, all gold) and vary the heights for visual interest. It’s a bold, space-saving way to show off your bauble collection.
9. Decorate mirrors, windows, and shelves
Mini Christmas ornaments can bring festive cheer to every room. Drape baubles along your shelves, hang them from window latches, or add mini swags to a mirror frame.
Tip: Reflective surfaces, such as mirrors and windows, help bounce sparkle and light around the room.
10. Film a bauble-decorating tutorial
Feeling inspired? Share your ideas with friends by filming a simple how-to video showing how you decorate with baubles.
You can post to Instagram, TikTok, or share in group chats for a bit of festive fun, and maybe pick up a few more bauble decorating ideas from the comments section, too.
