- Is this ball really shatterproof?
- Yes. It is made of plastic rather than glass, so it flexes and bounces instead of breaking into shards when dropped. The hanging loop is the part most likely to fail, not the ball.
- How big is a 4-inch ornament on a tree?
- It is noticeably larger than the common 2.5 to 3-inch ball, roughly the size of a large apple. It works best as a focal ornament or filler rather than in dense clusters.
- Will the glitter come off?
- Some shedding is normal with glitter finishes, particularly when the ball is handled or stored loose. Handle it gently and store it in a bag or tissue to limit mess.
- Does it work on a white or flocked tree?
- Yes. The black body contrasts strongly with white and frosted branches, and the holographic glitter picks up colored lights well.
- How does it hang?
- It has a top loop for a hook or ribbon. The plastic is light, so it hangs on thin branches without pulling them down.
- Is it safe for outdoor use?
- It is best kept indoors. The plastic and glitter finish are not built for rain, wind or direct sun over a season.
