how many ornaments for a 7 ft christmas tree
A 7 ft tree takes about 88 ornaments, in a range of 70 to 105 depending on how decorated you want it. The rule is 10 to 15 ornaments per foot of height on trees under 9 ft. Below is a chart from 4 ft to 10 ft, how to split the sizes and why every guide quotes a different number.
Range of 40 to 60 ornaments, split into 21 small, 16 medium and 13 large. A tabletop or corner tree needs few large ones.
Range of 50 to 75, split into 27 small, 20 medium and 16 large.
Range of 60 to 90, split into 32 small, 24 medium and 19 large.
Range of 70 to 105, split into 38 small, 28 medium and 22 large.
Range of 120 to 160. Above 9 ft the calculator uses the 12 to 16 per foot slice of the 12 to 20 band, with 14 in the middle.
About 600 lights for a standard 6 ft tree, which is six strings of 100. The rule is 100 lights per foot of height. A subtle look takes 429 to 514 lights and a packed one 600 to 857. Slim trees take fewer and full trees take more, because the count follows the width.
About 126 ornaments for a 9 ft tree, from 108 to 144. That is 54 small, 40 medium and 32 large. On a slim tree the total drops by about 17%; on a full tree it rises by about 17%.
About 43% small, 32% medium and 26% large, from the Christmas in America 7.5 ft chart. In 88 ornaments that is 38, 28 and 22. Buy the large ones first and add small ones until the gaps close.
Because they measure different looks: 6.2 per foot is a restrained look, 10 to 15 is the store standard and 12 to 20 applies to large trees of 9 ft or more. What changes is taste and ornament size. The calculator shows the range and lets you pick the look.
You can buy fewer balls. Garland fills volume: between 5 and 9 feet per foot of height, or 42 ft on a 6 ft tree. With garland at the standard point, staying in the lower part of the ornament range is usually enough.
