HOW TO DECORATE A CHRISTMAS TREE

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
