Step-by-Step Decorating Guide

1. Start with Lights

Begin with your tree lights, working from the inside out. For a professional look, weave the lights in a zigzag pattern from the trunk to the tips of the branches.

2. Add Garlands

Drape garlands evenly around the tree. For a 6-foot tree, you'll need about 50-75 feet of garland.

3. Hang Ornaments

Place larger ornaments first, then fill in with smaller ones. Hang some ornaments closer to the trunk to add depth and dimension, and to avoid overloading the branch causing it to sag.

4. Balance Colors

Distribute colors and sizes evenly around the tree. Step back occasionally to check for any empty spots.

5. Add the Finishing Touches

Top your tree with a beautiful tree topper, add a festive tree skirt, and place your presents underneath to complete the look!

Pro Tips
