A decorated Christmas tree makes for a very cheerful home atmosphere during the holidays. Create a festive atmosphere in your home by following these easy steps.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Turn on Your Tree Decorative Lights
Step 1. Connect your Christmas lights to the mains
Do this before starting to hang decorations to make sure none of the lights are damaged or burned.
Step 2. Place decorative lights on your tree
Be sure to do this before placing any other decorations on your tree. LED lamps are the best choice because they will not heat up quickly.
- Circular trim: Wrap strands of light around the top of the tree and down to the base of the tree. For a 6-foot tree, you will need about 6 bulbs with 100 bulbs each.
- Put your first light from the top to get started. These lights will illuminate the stars, angels, snowflakes that you will add next.
- Secure the light loop by attaching it to a tree branch.
- Straight decoration: divided into 3 parts. Each section has its own light.
- Start at the base of the tree and thread the lights through the branches to the top of the tree and back to the base. Repeat.
Step 3. Connect your light cord to the power outlet and plug it into the nearest power outlet
Method 2 of 3: Hanging Ornaments on Your Christmas Tree
Step 1. Wrap the bottom of the tree with plastic
This plastic will catch any thorns that fall from your tree. Cover the wicker with a festive Christmas rug.
This carpet will beautify your tree and also protect your floor from falling tree thorns
Step 2. Hang your ornaments on the tree
Look for branches that are slightly wider than other branches so that your decorations don't get caught on lower branches.
Step 3. Hang the heaviest ornament on the branch at the top, closest to the tree trunk
The strongest trees are in a position near the trunk and can withstand more weight.
Step 4. Hang decorations near decorative lights to accentuate certain decorations
It works best on a shiny ball, glass, or any metallic finish that is capable of reflecting light.
Step 5. Spread all the decorations evenly over the entire tree
Make sure not to put too much decoration on any part of the branch.
If the branch begins to curl down and down from carrying too much weight, your ornament may fall or the tree branch may break
Step 6. Add additional decorations
These additional decorations include ribbons, popcorn and cranberries packets, and candies.
Step 7. Add embellishments (if necessary)
Brilliant decorations make your tree sparkle. Hang the lamp decoration near for a more shining appearance.
- Realize that too many decorations can take away the beauty of your ornaments.
- For a more modern look, buy colorful embellishments instead of the traditional silver color.
Step 8. Add a Star (or any other decoration you want to put on the top)
Make sure the decoration is safe and doesn't break the tree.
Step 9. Turn off your house lights
Admire the festive Christmas tree lights you've created and cheer up.
Method 3 of 3: Collect Ideas for Your Christmas Tree Theme
Step 1. Create a traditional feel with sparkling red, white, silver, and gold colors
The impression of luster can be through glass or plastic.
Add faux snow and silver bells to complete your traditional Christmas tree
Step 2. Place fabric flowers on your tree for a blooming theme
Use white lights instead of colored lights to highlight your flowers.
- Roses, magnolias, and hydras are great choices for adding a winter feel.
- Add a colorful ribbon and a few shimmering silver or glass embellishments to add a sparkle and floral feel.
Step 3. Create a natural feel with traditional metal or glass ornaments
Place spruce seeds all over the tree.
- Combine bird embellishments with faux foliage.
- White lights are best suited to display a natural impression.
Step 4. Combine decorations, red and white to create a sense of nationalism
Combine glass and plastic ornaments along with lights that can rival the Christmas tree in the State palace.
To add a sense of patriotism, add red and white lights to your tree
Step 5. Hang large, brightly colored ornaments for a modern feel
Bright colors include lemon green, purple, light blue, and pink.
Strands of light with large lamps mixed with small and large and bright ornaments will give the tree a contemporary feel
Tips
- When you buy a Christmas tree, look for a tree that has lots of branches and twigs all over. Avoid trees that have "bare" parts where no branches and twigs will grow because you will not be able to hang decorations and decorations (and that will make your tree look weird.)
- A craft vendor may provide decorations that you may want to add to your tree.
Warning
- Be careful if any of the decorations break, the shards can be very sharp.
- Never hang candles on your tree as they are very dangerous and can cause a fire.
- If the lamp you are using gives off heat, be careful not to injure yourself, or burn the tree.
- Don't overuse the power outlet! This is a basic thing that everyone does at Christmas time, and it can cause a fire.
- Never turn on decorative lights on your tree all night, especially if you are using a live tree. Unplug the power and turn off the decorative lights if you want to sleep.
