How to Decorate a Christmas Tree

DECORATE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE IN 6 EASY STEPS

Step 1 – Build Your Christmas Tree

If you have been searching for the perfect, Christmas tree, we've got you covered!

Before purchasing a Christmas tree, measure your area (floor area and height) and choose a tree that best fits your space.

When you find the perfect tree, follow the assembly instructions and ensure that it is properly secured on a designated tree stand.

Once assembled, fluff your tree branches to make them look natural and authentic by shaking and brushing each branch.

Laser projectors offer a super bright, starry sky effect, with thousands of dots of lights.

Step 2 – String the Lights

Once your Christmas tree is assembled and you have established a colour scheme, it’s time to light it up!

How many Christmas Lights should I use?

100 lights = approximately 1 1/2 ft. Depending on the size of the tree, choose the amount of lights you need based on tree height.

How do I hang the Christmas lights on the tree?

Start by stringing lights together and plugging them in before placing on the tree to ensure they are functioning.
Starting from the top, begin wrapping lights around the tree.
Weave string lights along the branches ‘inside’ then move outwards, working your way to the bottom.

Step 3 – Add Garland & Ribbon

To add a little dimension, add some garland, beads or ribbon to your Christmas tree.
Start from the top and work your way around the tree.

How much garland do I need?

There should be two strands of garland per foot of tree height. (ex. 6 ft. tree = 12 strands of garland.)

Step 4 - Place your Ornaments

Before decorating your tree, ensure that your ornaments have the proper ornament hooks.
When hanging your ornaments, start placing them from the middle of the tree, working your way outwards.
Try using a combination of textures and finishes to produce visual appeal.
Use the simple ornaments as a base and place fancy and novelty ornaments strategically in the front areas of your tree.
Spread all the ornaments out evenly and ensure tree décor is balanced.
Tip: Adding oversized ornaments towards the center of the tree gives the tree more depth.

Step 5 - Add a Tree Skirt

Don’t leave the bottom of your tree bare. Use a tree skirt to add a full, finishing touch.
Once you have your skirt, place it at the bottom of the tree, covering your tree stand and any wires that are exposed.

Step 6 - Place your Tree Topper

Choose an eye-catching tree topper that will complete the festive look.
Place and secure it at the top of the tree
