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.
