About Christmas Picks at Christmas World

If you have ever admired a professionally styled Christmas tree in a department store or luxury hotel and wondered how they achieved such lush fullness, the secret lies in Christmas picks! At Christmas World Australia, we offer an enormous assortment of decorative floral picks, berry sprays, iced branches, and pinecone stems that elevate your tree from ordinary to extraordinary.

Picks allow you to extend the silhouette of your tree, filling inner gaps near the trunk and extending dramatic glittering stems outward from branch tips. They work brilliantly whether styled on an artificial tree or a aromatic Real Christmas Tree. You can also tuck picks into entryway Christmas wreaths and staircase garlands to create custom floral arrangements.

Combine picks with hanging baubles and decorative ribbon to establish a cohesive colour scheme across your entire living area.

How to Choose the Right Christmas Picks

Berry Sprays vs Foliage and Pinecone Stems

Berry sprays add pops of vibrant red, gold, or silver colour. Foliage stems featuring eucalyptus, fern, or pine branches add natural volume, while pinecones bring earthy rustic charm.

Glitter and Frosted Finishes

Glittered picks catch tree lights and sparkle in evening light. Frosted or snow-dusted picks lend a chilly winter wonderland look to green pine trees.

Stem Length and Scale

Short 20cm to 30cm picks work great for filling small branch pockets. Long 50cm to 70cm picks and sprays are ideal for bursting toppers and mantelpiece garlands.

Comparing Christmas Pick Varieties

Quick Tips for Christmas Picks

• Curve wire stems slightly before inserting them into branches for a natural, flowing appearance.
• Insert picks deep into the interior of artificial trees to hide the metal trunk pole.
• Group three different pick varieties—such as a leaf, a berry, and a pinecone—into a single bundle for maximum texture.
• Use long picks extending upwards from the top branch to create an extravagant tree topper explosion.

How to Insert Picks into Your Christmas Tree

Step 1: Fluff Branches and Shape Pick Wire

Bend the lower section of the pick wire into an 'S' shape to help anchor it around pine branch needles.

Step 2: Push Picks Deep into Tree Interior

Insert picks at an upward angle toward the tree trunk to fill empty spaces and build internal density.

Step 3: Layer Outer Branch Sprays

Place longer glittering sprays near branch tips so they extend out beyond the needles, catching tree lights.

Caring for and Storing Your Picks

Cleaning Tips

• Unbox picks outside or over a sheet to catch loose glitter during seasonal setup.
• Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth or light feather duster.

Storage Advice

• Store picks lying flat in long plastic storage totes to avoid bending wire stems out of shape.
• Group similar pick styles together with rubber bands or twist ties for easy retrieval next year.

Christmas Picks Safety Tips

• Ensure cut wire ends are bent inward so sharp points do not catch on clothes or skin.
• Keep glittered picks away from food preparation areas and dining plates.
• Position picks securely in tree branches so they do not fall onto pets or small children.

Frequently Asked Questions — Christmas Picks

What are Christmas picks and how are they used in holiday decorating?

Christmas picks are decorative stems featuring berries, pinecones, leaves, glitter branches, or mini ornaments attached to flexible wire stems. They are inserted into trees, wreaths, garlands, and vase arrangements to fill gaps and add volume.

How many picks do I need for a 7ft Christmas tree?

For a standard full look, we recommend using 20 to 30 picks scattered throughout the tree. For an ultra-lavish, decorator-style tree, 40 to 60 picks will create incredible depth and texture.

Can picks be used to create a tree topper crown?

Yes! Grouping 5 to 10 long glitter picks or feather sprays around the central top spike of your tree creates a dramatic, bursting crowning topper.

Are the wire stems on Christmas picks bendable?

Yes, our picks feature sturdy yet bendable wrapped wire stems that allow you to shape, curve, and secure them around branch tips effortlessly.

How do I keep glitter picks from shedding during styling?

Minor glitter shedding is normal during unpacking. Unbox picks over a tray or towel, shape them gently, and push them firmly into branches to minimize movement.

Can I use Christmas picks in outdoor wreaths?

Selected picks made from acrylic, coated wire, and plastic berries are suitable for covered outdoor porch wreaths. Store fabric or paper picks indoors.

What styles of picks are most popular this season?

Glittered eucalyptus branches, red berry sprays, frosted pinecone stems, champagne gold leaf picks, and iced twigs are top picks among Australian decorators.

How should I store picks after the Christmas season?

Bundle picks gently by category using twist ties and lay them flat in long plastic storage bins to keep stems straight and glitter finishes intact.
