Description
Patriotic ornaments have a way of making a tree personal. Stars and stripes can celebrate a love of Americana, a military ornament can honor service or remember someone special, and familiar American landmarks and symbols can turn individual branches into little reminders of places, people and traditions that matter.
The American flag appears in plenty of forms, but it is only part of the collection. Eagles, the Statue of Liberty, monuments, military caps, uniforms, aircraft and other recognizable symbols give collectors many different directions to explore. Some designs are proudly red, white and blue, while others focus more specifically on a branch of military service or a particular piece of American imagery.
Glass is an important part of the assortment, with hand painted, glittered and dimensional designs that catch the light beautifully on a tree. But patriotic ornaments do not have to be glass. Felt, wood, pressed paper, resin and mixed media pieces introduce softer textures and folk art personality, making it easy to combine polished glass ornaments with more handcrafted Americana styles.
These ornaments also belong to more than one decorating season. Hang stars, flags and Americana designs on a patriotic tree for Memorial Day, Flag Day or Independence Day, then bring favorite pieces back for Christmas. On a holiday tree, patriotic ornaments can become part of a larger collection built around family history, military service, travel, American landmarks or simply a love of red, white and blue.
