This device is a tree ornament which is magnetically attachable to an artificial tree. Artificial trees usually have branch twigs either permanently attached, or attachable, by inserting the end of each through spaced apertues through the branches. This device makes it very easy to attach or detach any ornament to the tree, by using a magnetizable or magnetic element either or both on the ornament or on the tree branch or tree branch twig. Many artificial tree branches are built about an axial ferrous core and, in such case, the ornament has a permanent magnet built into or on the ornament, and the ornament thus readily attaches to and detaches from the branch. The magnetic flux of the ornament magnet is selected to be strong enough to attach to the axial core of the branch. Alternatively, the axial core may be made with spaced loops thereon extending to or through the branch surface. When the twigs are attached by being inserted through previously prepared transverse apertures spaced along the branches, the twigs are provided with a stem. In this device, the stem is selected to be either of ferrous material or a magnetized stem, and the ornament has either a ferrous attaching cap or a magnetic cap to cooperate with the magnetic or ferrous cap.
