Decorating Your Artificial Christmas Tree: Tips and Tricks

1. When setting this up, first things first is to make sure that you are placing this on a level surface. You will find that the more even the surface that this tree is sitting on is going to ensure that the tree will not fall over…too many times an uneven floor can lead to disaster when it comes to setting up your tree.

2. Once you have all the pieces together, then it comes time to make sure that you are spreading out the branches. When these trees come out of their box, they are not going to have those picture-perfect branches that you want on these trees. The wire inside of these branches is what you can use to ensure that you are getting the perfect tree look that you desire.

3. Once you believe that all the branches are spread on the tree like they should be, be sure that you are taking a step back and looking for any spaces that lack branches. This is an indication that you need to spread the branches, even more, to ensure that there are not these empty spaces throughout the tree.

Once the tree has been set up and it looks good, then it is time to start stringing the lights. You will find that doing this in a circular motion is the most traditional way of putting these lights on the tree. You will want to make sure that a light is touching each branch. The number of lights you will need to use really depends upon the look that you are going for and the size of the tree, so use your best judgment with this.
