How to arrange Christmas tree decorations so they don’t fall? Hooks, although convenient, are not always effective. Usually, a gentle pull is all it takes to shatter a glass decoration on the floor, not to mention the lines get lost. What to replace them with?
We most often use rubber bands for hair, securing various types of containers and boxes, or holding objects together. They are small, made of rubber and cheap. Not everyone knows that they have many more uses. If you plan to decorate the Christmas tree, they are worth buying. It will be much easier.
What can rubber bands be used for? Decorate the Christmas tree with them
Internet creator Katie shared a Christmas trick nand the unusual but practical use of small hair ties when decorating a Christmas tree. She posted a video on Instagram showing how she uses them instead of hooks for Christmas decorations. This made them stick to the tree much better and were harder to drop, which is especially handy if you have kids or pets. Although it took her some time, the effect was definitely worth it. Especially if you use small and transparent rubber bands that are practically invisible.
There were also many comments under the video. Some internet users approached the idea with caution, while others expressed concern that with the decorations so well hung, a child could topple the Christmas tree. There were also many admiring opinions.

“Wow, this is going to save me. In the last few days, my little ones have broken two ornaments by tearing them out. I will definitely test it out”
“I’ve been doing this for years and it’s a complete breakthrough”
“A really clever trick. Last year I had to glue all the top parts of the ornaments with super glue because my toddler kept tearing them off”
“Brilliant”
– we read in the comments.
What else can be done with rubber bands? Three brilliant uses
Rubber bands have many uses. Some of them are obvious (organizing cables, documents or grouping objects, e.g. in a drawer), while others are surprising.
Which ones are worth knowing?
- Wrap them around the sides of the clothes hanger and you will be sure that nothing will fall off it.
- Mark your glasses with them during a meeting or family event and no one will make a mistake.
- Place them on the lid of a jam jar and they will be much easier to remove.
As you can see, there are many options, so it is better not to throw them away. Who knows when they will prove useful?
