Christmas Tree Decorating Tips

Fluffing and Shaping

• Start at the bottom and work your way up layer by layer.

• Fan out every tip in alternating directions to hide gaps and cover the centre pole.

• Take your time; proper shaping is the foundation of a realistic look. 

Lighting and Layering

• Add extra lights if your pre-lit tree looks sparse, weaving strands from the trunk to the tips.

• Use the triangle method to space large, medium, and small baubles evenly across the branches.

• Push some ornaments deeper inside the tree and place others near the tips to create depth. 

Textures and Fillers

• Incorporate floral picks and berry stems to break up the plastic look and add natural dimension.

• Weave ribbons or garlands vertically or diagonally down the tree to fill empty pockets.
