If you don’t know, I LOVE Christmas. As we turn our clocks back, I hate how dark it is so early. I love the glow of ambient light from a Christmas tree. So that’s why I put up my Christmas trees early. Today I’m sharing my top 5 tips for decorating Christmas trees.

Christmas tree decorating tips and tricks,

Tip #1 – If you are using a faux tree, make sure you fluff the branches before you start decorating. They all get smashed in the box. By fluff I mean – pull apart, shape, until the tree looks good.

Tip #2 – Use extra picks or faux greenery in your tree. I like to use picks with red as I think red really pops on this flocked tree – here I used faux sugared berries. They don’t have to be expensive – these were found at Joann’s for under $2.

Tip #3 – Put your garland on before your breakable ornaments. I know this goes against what many professionals will tell you – but after breaking some ornaments with my garland, I now do it the opposite way!

Tip #4 – Layer your ornaments. You want to have some placed deeper into the branches. This adds dimension. In fact, you can have two ornaments on the branch – one deep and one at the tip.

Tip #5 – Have a tree theme. This is my Woodland tree. Almost of the ornaments have either animals or nature. Now, you don’t have to necessarily do a “themed tree”. You can create a theme by using a color. Use plain ornament balls that are all the same, or ribbon that’s all the same, to create a cohesive look.
