Are these ornaments really shatterproof?

Yes. They are made of PET and PS plastic rather than glass, so they flex and bounce instead of breaking when dropped. They can still dent or crack under heavy weight.

How big are they compared to standard ornaments?

Each ball is 2.36 inches across, smaller than the common 3-inch size. They suit medium and large trees but leave visible gaps on a sparse tree unless you use several sets.

Can I hang them outdoors?

The shatterproof plastic handles cold and knocks better than glass, so they work on porch trees and wreaths. Keep them out of direct sun and standing water, which fade the finish and loosen the caps.

Do the caps come attached?

Yes. Each ball ships with its metal cap and hanging loop in place, so they are ready to hang out of the box. Check the caps are snug before hanging, since a few arrive loose.

How many sets do I need for a 7-foot tree?

A 7-foot tree usually takes 100 to 150 ornaments for a full look, so plan on four to six sets. One set alone covers a small tabletop tree or fills gaps in a larger display.

Will the glitter rub off?

Some shedding is normal with glitter-finish ornaments. Handle them by the cap, and expect a light dusting of glitter on hands and the tree skirt after setup.
