Decorating the Christmas tree is one of the most enjoyable parts of the festive season, but it is even better if you do it well. Here is a guide to the whole process, from start to finish.
Select your tree
Before decorating can begin, you have to select your tree. Picking one that fits the available space will give you the best results. You also need to decide between real and artificial. The former may suit traditionalists, but the latter offers more variety. This includes options like twig trees.
Dress with lights
The first step should always be the lights, but again you have more than one choice. Do you prefer twinkly white lights or multicoloured fairy lights? On the other hand, you can also get fibre optic and pre-lit Christmas trees. Assuming you want separate lights, start wrapping them around your tree from the base, making sure to take in both outer and inner branches.
Garnish with tinsel
The next stage is to garnish the tree with tinsel, and an average-sized tree will have room for around three pieces. Try to make them different colours, so each stands out.
Add baubles
The final step is to add baubles and put your favourite ones on first. This way, you can place them on the most prominent branches. Think about size too – try to put the bigger ones on the inner branches and the smaller ones nearer the front.
Hopefully this blog will give you some great ideas when it comes to decorating your Christmas tree this winter.
