Pet Friendly Pets really like to play with (read: destroy) Christmas trees. Thankfully, there are some tips you can follow to keep your pets safe and your tree intact. Choose an artificial tree that is under six feet tall and anchor it securely to the wall or floor to prevent toppling. Use flat matte ornaments that are bigger in size -- they are less attractive to pets than glistening ornaments and are harder to chew on or consume. Attach ornaments securely with twist ties and avoid hanging a lot of on the base quarter of the tree. Don't use tinsel or garland, as pets can quickly entangle themselves or choke on swallowed pieces. Lastly, tape down or cover any electrical wires, and constantly turn off the tree when you aren't inside the room.

Statement Ornament "A designer trick for adding thickness to a Christmas tree decoration would be to cluster similar ornaments together then hang them within the tree and also the tips of branches," says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. "From a distance the planets will read a lot more graphically than simply tucked and partially-hidden single decorations, and they will help fill voids throughout the tree."

Tip: To save money, purchase ribbon scraps from your local craft shop or save pieces from gifts or crafts during the year.
