Christmas Tree Bulbs

    Everybody has a different name for the Decorative Plastic Ceramic Christmas Tree Ornaments.  Some people call them Plastic Ceramic Christmas Tree Bulbs, Replacement Bulbs for Ceramic Christmas Trees, Replacement Ceramic Christmas Tree Bulbs or Plastic Bulbs for Ceramic Christmas Trees.  Others will refer to the Ceramic Christmas Tree Bulb as a Ceramic Christmas Tree Plastic Ornament.  A few people refer to them as decorative ceramic tree ornaments or twist ornaments and then there is the group of people that use the phrase "those plastic bulb things you put in Ceramic Christmas Trees".  What ever you call them, Dogwood Ceramic Supply has the largest selection of Plastic Ceramic Christmas Tree Bulbs in stock every day of the year and always at a low price.

 

 

And the Plastic Stars for topping the Ceramic Christmas Tree are also stocked !

 

    The Ceramic Christmas Tree Bulbs and Stars are transparent and may be illuminated to achieve a gentle glow by using the electrical Christmas Tree Light Kit sold by Dogwood Ceramic Supply.

 

 

The diameter of the bulb shaft is the most important parameter in determining the correct bulb to purchase for your Christmas Tree.  If your Christmas Tree was cut for a smaller shaft size, you can only use the smaller/thinner shaft bulbs.  If your Christmas Tree was cut for a larger shaft size, you should generally use a larger/thicker shaft bulb, however, some thin shaft bulbs may also be suitable so long as the bulb head is larger than the hole itself.

Christmas Tree Stars

    Classic Christmas Tree Stars in wide choice of colors and 3 popular sizes.  Christmas Tree Stars are typically chosen based upon the size of the tree with an oversized star (proportional to the tree) looking better than an undersized star.  However, the stem size of the Christmas Tree Star is especially important as the Large Star has a stem size larger than the Medium Twist Ornament.  Because of the stem size issue, the Medium Christmas Tree Star is the most popular size choice, with Red and Gold being the most popular colors and Crystal (clear) well behind in 3rd place.

How to Glue your bulbs:

     Do NOT use any silicon or acrylic based glues (such as epoxy or super-glues) with the Plastic Christmas Tree Ornaments as the synthetic glues can figuratively eat the bulbs.  A white school glue, such as Elmer's Glue-All (Elmer's Glue), is perfect for use with the Plastic Christmas Tree Ornaments.  Elmer's Glue will not permanently glue the bulbs in place, thus preventing damage to the Ceramic Christmas Tree should the bulb be mishandled during packing.  In addition, the use of the a white school glue would allow changing of the colored ornaments at a future date.

    Note:   Do NOT glue the star into the top hole.  Stars are easily broken during packing for storage and can the residual stem can be especially difficult to remove if glued in place.
