I took my silver snowflake garland , cut it in 6-8 inch segments and hang it like tinsel. same shimmering ..effect ,less mess and reuseable. I have 3 fur babies and they only set under the tree, don't try and climb it or knock off the ornaments, I got lucky, my babies are so sweet, Also went to Bronners ,worlds largest christmas store last year ,couldn't afford them ,but was beautiful.Went home pulled out my stuff , and realizes I had found Bronners ornament at garage sales for 1$ a box, did the happy dance,I nearly cried, So know my tree compares to theirs at a fraction of the cost
