- Are these safe around toddlers and pets?
- Yes. They are plastic and shatterproof, so a fall or a swat won't leave glass shards. The hanging caps are still small metal parts, so keep them out of reach of very young children.
- How big are they on a tree?
- Each ball is 2.5 inches across, a standard mid-size ornament. That size fills a 6 to 7.5-foot tree well without looking crowded.
- Will the red fade or peel?
- The color is molded into or coated on plastic, and most owners report it holds up over a season. Store them out of direct sun and heat to slow any fading.
- Do they come with hangers?
- The balls have metal caps with loops for hanging. Check the set for hooks or strings, since basic sets often leave you to supply your own.
- Can I use them outdoors?
- They handle cold and damp better than glass, but prolonged direct sun and rain can dull the finish. A covered porch or sheltered tree is the safer spot.
- How do they compare with glass ornaments?
- They are tougher and lighter but less reflective. If you want sparkle and heirloom looks, glass wins; for durability and volume, these do the job.
