Putting together a pop-up Christmas tree is simple – this is the point of them. They are different from most artificial Christmas trees because they are collapsible. All you have to do is fix the support pole in the base and pull the tree top upwards to make it pop into shape.
This is just the first stage though, as you’ll also need to decide where it will be placed and decorate it.
The location is crucial to maximising its impact. The tree should be the centrepiece of your Christmas decorations, so find a high visibility spot. Of course, it has to be the right height and width for your tree.
Once the tree has been put in place, it will be time to think about decorating it. Picking a festive theme and using that as the basis for the decorations will help you avoid a mishmash of different styles. Do you want a traditional Christmas look or a quirky, modern one?
When it comes to decorating pop-up Christmas trees, you should start with the fairy lights. Drape them carefully around the branches and aim for an even spread of lights. You may need to switch them on to see if you are on the right track.
After the lights come the rest of the decorations. Put the larger baubles towards the bottom of the tree and the smaller ones nearer the top, as this will provide visual unity. Then, finish by adding the star or fairy.
Setting up a pop-up tree is as easy as it sounds!
